I work for a major toy company.  We make all sorts of toys.  The division I work for is a specialty division.   We specialize in making special order stuffed animals.  If you want to put a Teddy bear in every room of your hotel with the hotel’s name embroidered over its heart, we can do that for you.  Easter is our biggest season.  We make a lot of bunnies.  But we always seem to have a lot left over, no matter what season it is.  So... what do you do with all those special ordered rabbits and bears and what-have-you that nobody wants?  We recycle them.  I recycle them.  It’s... it’s an awful job.  We cut their eyes off first.  They have a face... and I cut their eyes off.  They’re hard plastic.  The eyes.  Those are too costly to recycle, so we throw them away.  Then we take out the fiber fill.  I’m told it can’t be used again because of health regulations, but I don’t see why.  So we throw that away, too.  And that leaves the fibers – you know, the cloth around the bunny – but we can only recycle that if it doesn’t have any sort of decal on it – like a company logo – and they always do.  I mean, that’s the entire point of making these animals to begin with.  Really, when it gets down to it, we can only recycle about half the cloth that goes into making it.  It’s really not worth the effort.  Except we can tell our customers that we recycle.  And I know... it’s just cloth and fiber and a few pieces of plastic...  but they have a face.
