Lego Duplo Recycling Truck

Help toddlers aged 2+ tidy up the town with Lego Duplo Town Recycling Truck (10987) toy. This realistic garbage truck toy lets curious young minds play out the world they see around them as they learn about recycling, sorting the garbage into the correct bins and dumping the trash into the truck.

During the waste-sorting fun toddlers get familiar with their colours by working out which piece of trash belongs to its colour-matching sorting bins. These have hinged lids that refine motors skills as little fingers open and close them to tidy away the trash. Pre-schoolers will love to drive the truck and tip out its load once they reach their destination – the dump.

Testing the Lego Duplo Recycling Truck

One mum said: "I really liked this product and my son has enjoyed playing with it, it’s a good size for his little hands. It’s well made, it looks like it’s hard wearing and is going to last. I feel it’s a gender neutral product and is compatible with other pieces in the range. However, there’s a few smaller pieces that could easily get lost and I think it could be tricky to clean.

This tester was impressed with the whole set: "My overall impression of the product was wow, loved the packaging and the products that came in the box. The colours stood out and the way you can take it apart and put it back together again. Very sturdy and no small parts as my child is only 2 years old. The selling point for me are the bins you put on the lorry as lids open up and the little man that sits in the truck. A good selling product for a child as you can make a story from it. Very easy to clean the product as all comes apart very easily. My child would play with the bin lorry for hours and when my other grandchildren come to my house they go for this toy straight away to play with it. I would highly recommend this toy for all ages and girls and boys as both genders seem to love it. This product is easily put away as all comes apart and I also like the way you can change the Lego around which makes it very interesting. Love love love and will buy again."

One tester said: "As soon as my son opened the box his face lit up. My son is 2 years old and find this is a good age to get this product. This product used all the time and it's opened up his imagination in play. My son likes matching the bin colours with the colour recycling block.

"Lego toys in our household are all time favourites. High quality and durable, can not break them, super easy to clean them. My son and my daughter loves to play with this garbage truck, it teaches them about recycling and colours. It doesn’t have a lot of a pieces so we can take this set on car journeys as well."

This tester liked that it taught their child about recycling: "This was really good aid to explain recycling and how different things would go into different bins. The different colours also helped to educate this. Like all Duplo, this toy is able to be used with other sets. The colours are bright, but aesethically pleasing too. It is the size of toy, which you could parts on the go with you on the go, especially for dinners to occupy the children.

"I think this Lego Duplo is fun to play with, but also educational. My eldest son (4) really enjoyed talking about the different elements of recycling to my youngest (2). My youngest, also really enjoyed playing with the toy in his own imaginative way."

Final thoughts

The Lego Duplo Recycling Truck is a great learning toy for toddlers that allows them to get familiar with colours as they open and close the toy bins to tidy away the colour-matching bricks. This also teaches children a starter into recycling for the future.

This toy set is also a great value for money as it can also be used for its purpose or the driveable lorry can be used on its own.
