Recycling | May 06, 2009 | by Andrea Nocito
When doing your part to reduce waste by recycling, don't forget to consider what's in the bedroom. If you want to be truly eco-friendly, be adult enough to recycle your sex toys too.
That’s right. Don’t you dare throw any electronic arousal device out with the day’s trash. Vibrators and any other toy that runs on a battery should be disposed of with care for the environment or those toys may leak metals and other contaminants into the environment.
When ridding the nightstand drawer of synthetic and electronic toys, a new online service will accept them for proper environmental disposal helping to make everyone, “sexstainable!
Scarlet Girl collects used and broken sex toys for recycling (not reuse because that would be unsanitary) and then will send a few bucks back to the toy owner in an effort to incentivize patrons beyond just greening their sex life. Other online collectors are also popping up. The plastics, electronic pieces, silicone, and metals will be disassembled, sorted and then recycled with other like materials. This prevents ingestion by animals who might scrounge the trash or landfill, as well as prevent pollution of soil and groundwater supplies.
Ya know, maybe now green has conquered all. This is ultimate green living. And, why not? At the heart of the issue is preventing pollution, if that means recycling a few unmentionables, do it.
