Second Chance Toys is a charitable organization dedicated to repurposing gently used plastic toys by donating them to children in need. The initiative aims to achieve a dual-purpose mission: to bring joy and developmental benefits to underprivileged children through toys, and to promote environmental sustainability by keeping non-biodegradable plastics out of landfills.

What you can ditch

Second Chance Toys focuses on accepting donations of gently used plastic toys that are clean, in good working condition, and have all their parts.

How to ditch with
Second Chance Toys

Donating toys to Second Chance Toys involves a few simple steps:

  1. Check Toy Condition: Ensure that the toys you plan to donate are clean, gently used, and in good working condition. Toys should be plastic (to ensure they can be sanitized), with no small parts that can be easily detached and pose a choking hazard for young children.
  2. Find a Drop-off Location or Event: Visit the Second Chance Toys website to locate a nearby drop-off event or permanent collection site. During specific times of the year, like around Earth Day and the holiday season, more collection events might be available.
  3. Prepare Toys for Donation: Clean the toys thoroughly. It's important that the toys are sanitized and free from dirt, grime, or stickers, making them as presentable and safe as possible for the next child.
  4. Donate During a Collection Drive: Take your toys to the chosen drop-off location during the designated collection times. Ensure that you adhere to any specific instructions provided by the drop-off site or event coordinators.
  5. Consider a Financial Contribution: If you don't have toys to donate or wish to support the organization further, consider making a financial donation through their website. This helps cover operational costs and expand their reach to more children and communities.
