Toys are more than just playthings. They’re essential to a child’s development in every way—cognitive, physical, social, and emotional. It is through play that children engage and interact with the world around them, experimenting with new ideas, taking risks and building resilience.
The challenge is that children outgrow toys so quickly. As a result these “essential tools” suddenly become waste.
These toys often end up in landfills, sometimes in the broader environment and even in our oceans. You might be surprised to know that toys make up 6 percent of all landfill plastics. The question is, can we change that?
We at TOYCYCLE have accepted the challenge of changing this linear model, where a toy is produced, used for a short span of time and then tossed into the landfill.
We believe that the life span of toys can and should be increased. We believe that every toy should be re-loved, that it can bring joy to another child's life.

And TOYCYCLE is focused on making the reuse of toys easy for parents.
Sustainability has always been at the core of what we do at TOYCYCLE, and we’re committed to creating a circular economy in the toy industry. But we know that we cannot do it alone.
The ReNew & RePlay Movement
That is why we have started the ReNew & RePlay Movement. The mission of this movement is to give every toy another chance before it ends up in the landfill. Join the movement to play your part in the circular economy.Here’s how:
As a parent…
Make pre-loved toys your first choice
As a parent, prioritize buying used toys whenever you are considering buying toys for your child. Kids are very forgiving when it comes to toys. They really don’t care if it’s new or used, so long as it interests and engages them.
This not only saves you money, it’s eco-friendly. A win-win-win for your child, your wallet, and the environment. Explore our extensive pre-loved toy collection for a variety of options.
Easily sell used toys with TOYCYCLE's services
Because children grow so fast, a house with kids will almost always have outgrown toys. TOYCYCLE has made selling used toys extremely convenient even for the busiest parents.
All you need to do is to go to the seller page our website to request a Curbside Pickup - in select cities - or a Cleanout Box. Our team of experts are very experienced at selling used toys. Send in your toys and they’ll do the rest.
As a toy brand…
We've developed three turnkey programs that allow brands to effortlessly join the growing recommerce movement. These programs can elevate your brand’s reputation, engage sustainability-conscious customers, and even boost your bottom line.
Returns Management Solution
Handling returns can be challenging, requiring dedicated staff and warehouse space. We take that burden off your hands entirely.
Our returns management solution includes a dedicated team that is expert at inspecting toys and reselling them. For items that can't be resold, we ensure responsible disposal to minimize environmental impact.
Our transparent reporting system keeps you informed on returns and the revenue they generate.
Overstock Management
Overstock also consumes valuable resources. Through our overstock management program, we help you quickly and efficiently move excess inventory by listing it in our trusted recommerce marketplace. With our expertise in sales, we transform your overstock into a profit opportunity.
Toy Trade-In Program
Our toy trade-in program ensures that your customers get maximum value from buying your brand.
Your customers can trade in gently used toys for discounts or store credits with your brand. We manage the entire process, from accepting trade-ins to reselling the items, allowing you to stay focused on your core business.
As someone who cares about the environment…
