Green Toys – Recycling Truck – Review

About Green Toys:
All Green Toys products are 100% made in the USA. To be more specific, they are produced in California, a state known for strict toy safety and environmental laws. It’s cool to buy USA, but also think about this: transportation is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gasses. We all know driving less is good for mother nature, but did you ever think about how many miles a toy logs before it ends up in your local store?

Our toys are truly local creations. Every step in the process, from milk container recycling to toy production to final assembly, occurs in California. Our raw materials and toys aren’t shipped from overseas, which saves a lot of energy and reduces greenhouse gasses. It also guarantees your toys won’t get seasick before they get to your home!

We had the pleasure to test out this recycling truck from Green Toys


My 2 year old couldn’t wait to get this out of the box. It literally took seconds to take it out of its packaging. There are no ties, no elastics no screws to undo. Which is great when you have an eager little one who wants to play with the toy as soon as possible. 


I also noticed that there are some images on the back of the box that you can cut out and teach your little one about recycling! Place the cut outs in its appropriate slot on the truck. It took my son about 5 minutes to figure out which item goes where. 

The recycling bed lifts and the back door opens and shuts. Great for dumping out all those recyclables that your little one just put in there!  


The recycling truck is very sturdy and made of thick recycled plastic. Its sturdy enough even for my  destructive 2 year old! 

An awesome feature about this truck is that there is no metal axles, it is 100% made of Recycled Milk Jugs!

My 2 year old loves his recycle truck. We made some paper balls, tiny newspapers, and re-using bottle caps and other small items that he places into the little slots on the side and then dumps them all into a little pile. 


The Green Toys Recycling Truck is made in the U.S.A. from 100% recycled plastic milk containers that save energy and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. HOW COOL IS THAT?!!!
