Help Build our Local Communities
By donating your used LEGO, you’ll make a difference in our local communities in a variety of ways:
- The value of your donation will be assigned to our Camp and Education Fund. This allows us to provide “angel” positions to families in need of child care during school breaks, and to provide spots for children to attend our VIB Club programs at local schools.
- The bricks will be used at our locations by students to have joyful and meaningful learning experiences. They’ll be incorporated into classes, camps and even making displays so everyone can enjoy the magic of LEGO creations again.
- Our team is diligently in the process of creating learning kits that will be bundled with some of our great lesson plans. We’ll take these kits and distribute them to local classrooms in the fall of 2025. We’re hoping to have hundreds of these kits distributed to teachers in the years ahead.
- And of course, we’ll keep these awesome toys out of landfill, and have them used for decades to come.
How it works?
Contact us to arrange a drop-off time at one of five drop-off spots in the Greater Toronto Area: North York, East York, Whitby, Oakville or Markham. If you are unable to do a drop-off, let us know and we can try and arrange a pickup from your Toronto home.
There is no need to disassemble your sets. Just place any LEGO bricks/sets in bins, boxes or bags and drop them off. Its that easy. We’ll even take the instruction manuals and boxes. We only ask that you do not include any other type of bricks or toys if possible.
Once we receive it, we’ll sort, clean and determine the value to assign to our Camp and Education Fund. Then the bricks get back into use by going into kits, classrooms and displays.
If you are outside of the Greater Toronto Area, LEGO Canada has their LEGO Replay program. Full details are available here.
Making a difference
Since we started our repurposing program 3 years ago, the difference it has made for children in our community has been remarkable:
- Over 1000 day-camp visits for families in need of child care;
- Almost 100 children attending an educational program that was previously unaffordable;
- Tens of thousands of creative ideas made by children of all ages!
- And of course, thousands of pounds of plastic kept out of the trash.
