Lego is looking to keep its plastic bricks out of the trash.

The Danish toymaker is testing a way for customers to ship their unwanted bricks back and get them into the hands of other kids.

It said Tuesday that customers in the United States can print out a mailing label on its site, dump their used Lego bricks in a box and ship them free.

Lego said if the test is successful, it may expand the program beyond the United States next year.
