Power Wheels recycling FAQs

Battery-powered ride-on toys, like Power Wheels, contain rechargeable batteries and durable plastic components that can be harmful to the environment if not properly recycled. Batteries can leak toxic chemicals, and plastic can take hundreds of years to decompose. Recycling these toys ensures safe handling of the batteries and recovery of materials for reuse, helping to reduce environmental harm and landfill waste.

When ride-on toys are recycled, the batteries are removed and processed separately to extract valuable materials like lithium, nickel, and lead, which are repurposed for new batteries or other uses. The plastic components are cleaned, shredded, and turned into pellets for manufacturing. Metal parts are separated, refined, and reused in new products. This comprehensive process ensures that every part of the toy is responsibly managed.

We only accept Power Wheels brand battery-powered ride-on toys.

We also accept non-motorized kids’ bubble cars, such as the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe (red/yellow models only). For more details, visit our Bubble Car Recycling page.

If you have a different brand of ride-on toy or need assistance with recycling, feel free to contact us for guidance or referrals.
