Crayola ColorCycle
Crayola and schools across North America are banding together to help kids understand the importance of their role in protecting the environment. That’s why we launched Crayola ColorCycle. Through this initiative, students in K-12 schools across the continental United States and parts of Canada can collect and repurpose used Crayola markers.
ColorCycle is also a great opportunity for teachers and their students to explore eco-friendly practices. Specially developed standards-based lesson plans are available to enrich instruction and promote lively class discussions.
4 Easy Steps to an Eco-Cool School!
Participating in ColorCycle with your school is as easy as 1-2-3-4!

Engage & Educate
Inform your school administrators or PTO about participating in the ColorCycle program.

Collect & Count
Set up a collection station in your school for used markers.

Pack & Print
Pack markers in a cardboard box (with minimal outer markings). Please include markers only, no other plastics. Each box should weigh between 8-10 pounds. Secure each box with packing tape to ensure it doesn't open during transport. Print out a FedEx shipping label.

Ship & Smile
FedEx Ground will pick up the markers — Crayola pays all shipping charges! Finally, smile - you just saved the planet!
