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?

“Not available in your location“

What happens to my LEGO® bricks? Once we receive your bricks, we carefully check them to make sure they meet our eligibility criteria. After they pass the check, we weigh them to determine their final value and promptly send your payment.

Our goal is to keep as many bricks in play as possible - and this is a test run to help us figure out the best way to do it!

There's probably a local used Lego store near you that will do better than that
