Donate your Lego bricks to kids in need (via Lego Group)<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Next time you step barefoot on a stray Lego brick and threaten to throw every last plastic building block into the trash, consider donating them instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new Lego Replay<\/a> pilot program accepts any and all previously used pieces, to be gifted to children’s non-profits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simply collect any loose bricks, sets, or elements, place them into a cardboard box, and print out a free UPS shipping label. (Try to avoid stuffing three pounds of methamphetamine in there, too.)<\/span><\/p>\n

The package will be sent to the Give Back Box facility, where each block is sorted, inspected, and cleaned.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We know people don’t throw away their Lego bricks,” Tim Brooks, vice president of environmental responsibility at the Lego Group, said in a statement<\/a>. “The vast majority hand them down to their children or grandchildren.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But others have asked us for a safe way to dispose of or to donate their bricks,” he continued. “With Replay, they have an easy option that’s both sustainable and socially impactful.”<\/span><\/p>\n
