FAQ

What is a Joy Bin?

A Joy Bin is a donation bin for gently used toys that helps reduce toy waste and bring joy to families. Hosts place these bins in visible locations to collect toy donations, which Borrowed Joys then uses to create curated toy kits for families.

As a Keeper of Joy, your main responsibilities are to:

  • Provide a visible space for the Joy Bin.
  • Use a thrifted or second-hand bin to align with our sustainability efforts.
  • Encourage your community to donate gently used toys.
  • Notify Borrowed Joys when the bin is full so we can arrange pickup or provide shipping instructions.

We’ll send you signage and detailed guidelines to make hosting simple and impactful.

You can host a Joy Bin for as long as you’d like! Whether it’s a one-time drive or an ongoing effort, we’re happy to work with your schedule and capacity. Just let us know your preference when you sign up.

 

We accept toys that are:

  • Clean, safe, and in good condition.
  • Suitable for children ages newborn–12 years (0-4 years currently in high demand).
    Please avoid damaged beyond repair toys, toys with missing parts that make it unusable, or items that cannot be thoroughly cleaned.

All toys are carefully inspected, cleaned, and sorted into age-appropriate kits for families to rent. Any toys that don’t meet our criteria will be repaired if possible, donated to other organizations in need, or responsibly recycled.
