Here are ideas to recycle, donate and upcycle old crayons:

CRAYON CAN 

The Crayon Can takes old, broken crayons and reforms them into new shapes. If you’re in the area, they will pick up; otherwise, mail to them.

CRAZY CRAYONS 

Crazy Crayons takes unwanted, rejected, broken crayons to a better place, where they’ll be recycled into fresh, new crayons! Crazy Crayons has drop-off bins across the nation.

INSTRUCTABLES 

Make new crayons with help from Instructables. Don’t throw away those old broken pieces, save them and make new, fun-shaped crayons for gifts and packaging ideas, stocking stuffers, etc.
