McDonalds are the like often (about once a month) change the toys they give away with meals. What happens to the unused toys? Are they given to employees? Charities? Sold overseas? Is there a process by which a non-profit can request the used toys? Thanks!

Regardless of what's SUPPOSED to happen to them, they always fell victim to crew boredom at the one I worked at. The only ones the managers ever gave us crap about was the beanie babies. But personally those were my favorite to mess with LOL H8 those ugly things...

Any left over toys are donated to the Ronald McDonal House Charity for children in need

I'm working at a McDonald's right now while I'm going to college.
The only place I've ever seen us put our left over toys (and they're aren't many) is up on a shelf. Seriously, we've still got a box of American Idol guitar toys sitting in the back, lol!

As far as I know, all the special campaigns they run for movie tie-ins will run until all the toys are gone - even if it's after the campaign is "officially" over. Then they have some generic promotions they run in between and I think they basically just warehouse those toys while they are running a major campaign.

At the store I use to work at we use to keep them, just in case we ran out of stock. 'O I wish they're given to the employees.lol I'm sarcastic there. We had to buy the toys ourselves or steal them.lol. I'm not sure about charities or overseas either.

I used to work at Burger King when I was 16. With the old toys, we sent them to head office to do as they please.....other than that, I'm not entirely sure what they do. Knowing these monstro wasteful companies, they probably toss them.
So I would do and speak to the manager of a store and see if you can have them donated. McDonalds is all about Childrens Charity.

Each McD's orders only the toys that they feel they are going to use. If there are any left it is a use until gone policy.
If a not for profit agency wants any they only need to talk to the store manager and it is his or her decision as to weather to donate said toys.
P.S. they are made overseas

they don't end up with unused toys. They continue giving out the old toys until they are gone, then they switch to the new toys.

They are taken back by the m+m co.,
or kept in case another toy runs out of stock.
As far as non-profit use, it would be up to the franchise owner to donate them.
