Product Description

Need help hauling a big load while helping save the planet? Then the Green Toy Dump Truck is ready to get working. Made in the USA from 100% recycled plastic milk containers that save energy and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions- the Green Toys Dump Truck is possibly the most energy efficient vehicle on this or any planet. The super cool eco-design has a workable dumper and no metal axles.

 

Why It's Green

Green Toys Inc. makes an awesome line of classic childrens toys constructed from recycled plastic and other environmentally friendly materials. This helps reduce fossil fuel use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improving the overall health and happiness of the planet. All Green Toys products are 100% made in the USA. To be more specific, they are produced in California, a state known for strict toy safety and environmental laws. It's cool to buy USA, but also think about this: transportation is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gasses. We all know driving less is good for mother nature, but did you ever think about how many miles a toy logs before it ends up in your local store? We use recycled milk containers as the main ingredient in creating our toys. Yes, the exact plastic milk jugs that you and your family drink from every day. When you finish your milk and toss the container in the recycling bin, these milk containers are collected at your curb by a local recycling company, who then sorts them from all the other types of plastic. Next, the milk containers are reprocessed into super clean fresh plastic. For you plastic geeks, the plastic material we use is called high-density polyethylene (or HDPE). This material is considered one of the safest, cleanest plastics around.

Our toys are truly local creations. Every step in the process, from milk container recycling to toy production to final assembly, occurs in California. Our raw materials and toys aren't shipped from overseas, which saves a lot of energy and reduces greenhouse gasses. It also guarantees your toys won't get seasick before they get to your home!

  1. No hardwood floors

    Posted by Unknown on 9th Feb 2010

    Bought this toy and fortunately tried it out before giving it to my son. The wheels do not have the ability to roll on hardwood floors. Had to return what looked like a great toy. For those thinking of using it outdoors or on carpet, the truck should be fun.


  2. Too bad Tonka moved to China and went soft

    Posted by Unknown on 9th Feb 2010

    I've got no incentive to buy the run of the mill Tonka toys anymore...they're made of plastic for the most part now so why not buy one that's made in America, like this one? At two, it's just a toy dumptruck to put the stuffies or trinkets in but as the kids get older, we can tell them how they're made of milk cartons that people recycled. Wheels roll nicely on carpet but aren't at all sticky so not as well on hard surfaces, but with a kid crawling behind them it's just fine. Nice details on the cab and wheels, sturdy construction...the plastic is VERY thick and the colors are really nice. So, if you recycle at home, put a little of your money on the other end and buy Green Toys' high-quality fruits of that effort! We have the recycling truck, the kitchen set, and the beach toy set also and like them all, too.


  3. Awesome! Minus the wheels

    Posted by Unknown on 9th Feb 2010

    My 2 1/2 year old son LOVES this dump truck and I love the "green" aspect of it. He spends hours filling up the back with various toys and then driving it around the room, dumping it and filling it back up again. It is one of his favorite toys. It is very sturdy and durable, yet light weight. Impressive product.


  4. Great addition!
