CRAZY CRAYONS and the National CRAYON RECYCLING PROGRAM has been in the crayon recycling business for over 24 years!
In April 1993, the first drop off bin was placed in the entry way of a grocery store in Troutdale, Oregon. Now the CRAYON RECYCLE PROGRAM is a national success!
CRAZY CRAYONS were given as Christmas Gifts to children of friends and family. Soon becoming a “cause” to involve kids with recycling.
The CRAYON RECYCLE PROGRAM has COLLECTED OVER 120,000 POUNDS of unwanted crayons since the program started. An amazing milestone!1
The crayons arrive at the Crazy Crayon workshop to be melted down, strained, sterilized and hand poured into beautiful, functional works of art for kids to enjoy.
Crayons are a petroleum product, they take many years to biodegrade.
MORE THAN 12 MILLION CRAYONS ARE MANUFACTURED EACH DAY!!!
Just think for a moment, “How many dumpsters does that fill?”
These crayons color just like any other crayon, because they don’t add or take away anything in their recycling process. CRAZY CRAYONS are NON-TOXIC, because they go through an extensive sorting process to use ONLY crayons certified with the U.S. Consumer Product Safty Commission.
All CRAZY CRAYONS, Eco Stars, “RECYCLE” Sticks, and Earth Worms purchases support the CRAYON RECYCLING PROGRAM and recycling education.
