When planning your trip to the Trove, please consider bringing a broken/used/previously played with toy (1 per child) for 100% recycling. Working with charitable mission partner Terracycle-Hasbro, you can give your well-loved toys and games a second life by recycling them. It helps out Santa, the Elves, AND the planet!
