With so many kinds of sex toys available, it’s likely you’ll have more than one. Depending on what kind of mood you’re in, who you’re with or what you’re trying to achieve – the sex toy will typically vary. But what happens once we’ve used our sex toy to death or decided to get an upgrade? How does sex toy disposal actually work? That’s what we’re here to find out.

What’s the best way to dispose of sex toys?

When it comes to sex toy disposal, there’s a big difference between devices that are battery-operated and ones that aren’t. Battery operated devices are considered e-waste and in some states (like Victoria), there’s legislation in place which prevents e-waste from being sent to landfill. This means you can’t chuck your old vibrator in the rubbish bin and be done with it. Other states don’t strictly prohibit sending e-waste to landfill, but it’s really harmful to the environment so if you’re looking to dispose of them more mindfully, there’s better ways of doing so.
