    What do they do with the bricks they take back? The website doesn’t seem to say. Not taking duplo or built sets makes it sound like they aren’t being recycled into something new. Are they being cleaned, sorted, and resold?

      They go into a massive Lego box then whenever someone in the office needs a brick they trawl through the box with both hands to find the exact piece they need.

      As is tradition.

      Lego has been trying to figure out how to make recycable bricks so these aren’t recycled. They are probably being reused by their master builders for Lego stores and Legoland Parks.

      Also in 2019, Lego aquired Bricklink, a site for Lego enthusiasts to buy and sell new and used Legos.
