The Recycling Truck from Green Toys ($27.99, Ages 1+, www.greentoys.com) is a high-quality, eco-friendly toy made from recycled milk containers. All Green Toys products are 100 percent recyclable and packaged in recycled corrugated boxes with no plastics, cellophane or twist-ties. We love the Recycling Truck because it helps promote a healthy lifestyle in addition to being fun to play with. Another favorite is the Salad Set, great for teaching kids about good nutrition.
