Ukrainians have been urged to share children's toys, as reuse helps to generate less waste and conserve natural resources.

Both new and used toys in good condition can be exchanged on the Circle of Toys project platform, the Goofy Center for Waste Management reports on Facebook.

The platform explains that the project aims to help children in need of support get their dream toys for free. In particular, these are low-income families, large families, etc.
