PAWTUCKET, RI, Oct. 24, 2019 /CNW/ - Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS)
announced today that it has expanded its industry-leading toy and
game recycling program to Canada. Through the program, consumers

leader in product recycling, who will recycle them into materials
to be used in the construction of play spaces, flower pots, park
benches, and other innovative uses.
"Through the expansion of Hasbro's Toy Recycling Program to
Canada, we're now able to provide Canadian consumers with a
sustainable solution for recycling their well-loved toys and
games," said Greg Ferguson, VP,
Marketing for Hasbro Canada.
"By choosing Hasbro toys and games, consumers can feel confident
