2. Tell us what you’ve done, by registering your toy rehoming and recycling and you’ll earn Planet Care Points for your school.
3. The more points your school collects on the School Leaderboard, the more books they have a chance of getting!
4. PLUS There’s a weekly prize draw!* for everybody taking part, so you can win books too!
It’s easy peasy!
Find a new home for toys you don’t play with anymore by giving them away to friends, family, charities, or toy sales.
Then claim your Planet Care Point by telling us how many toys you’ve rehomed.
Upload a photo of the toys you have rehomed to be entered into our prize draw!
Take any small, broken, hard plastic toys to put in one of our recycling bins in a participating Tesco store.
Then claim your Planet Care Point by telling us how many toys you’ve recycled.
