On 3 August 2017 Facebook rumors asserted that art supply-maker Crayola would recycle their own markers for free, often alongside a photograph of a massive box of dead markers: Crayola does accept spent markers for recycling through their ColorCycle program (which, as of this update in February 2021, is on pause due to the coronavirus pandemic) -- but, according to their web site, the program is only open to schools in the contiguous 48 United States and some areas in Canada. Individual Crayola customers aren't eligible to send their markers directly to Crayola for recycling, but the program included printable posters for school drop-off points. The program also accepts non-Crayola markers and pays for shipping. Here's how it works: And although homeschoolers were not yet eligible to participate, Crayola stated they were hoping to roll out the program to include home schools, daycares and preschools in the future. The ColorCycle program was launched in August 2013 as a partnership with JBI, Inc. The idea is to convert the used markers, which are not easily recycled, into liquid fuel. The program was paused in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. It has not yet been announced when it may resume.
