Sex Toy Recycling

I get a lot of questions about buying new sex toys, but what about any old toys that have reached the end of their life? Vibrators, like other electronics, shouldn’t just be thrown out like regular trash, and you don’t want your old dildos sitting out in a landfill — or even worse, in some poor animal’s digestive system…
