You can buy candy molds online for a couple of bucks and pour your melted crayons into them for all kinds of cool crayon shapes. I made rockets ans astronauts for birthday party favors.

we have three crayon makers since they only make 3 crayons at a time and it takes 12 minutes.

I work for Crazy Crayons, we have a national Crayon Recycle Program which is used to both recycle crayons but also use this process as an educational tool for sustainable living. We have been collecting and recycling crayons for seventeen years. Thanks!

From the CrayonBin website:

The economy has made it necessary for us to reorganize…
At this time TheCrayonBin.com is discontinuing the “Crayons-4-Crayons Program”. We will still except crayons for recycling but can no longer return a set of crayons for each set we receive. The crayons shipped to us will be recycled into our “Crayon Fire Starters”. We will no longer manufacture the novelty or specialty crayons. Thank you for participating in our Crayons-4-Crayons Program. If you would like to send us your crayons for recycling please see our Contact page.

Uh, how about instead of WASTING the crayon, you just use it until it is gone. It’s a crayon, not an everlasting gobstopper, and a really amazing thing happens when you rub them onto paper or other hard surfaces with adequate friction!

What’s sad is that 90% of the crayon is wasted. They’re used until the tip is gone… and then they’re thrown away. We need to stop that waste.

Wait a minute, folks. Parafin is a hydrocarbon – (C25H52). The latest environmental fads suggest that we should bury stable forms of carbon to reduce green house gases. Although these fads aren’t likely to be around for more than another few years. Until this fad goes out of style, recycling anything that contains carbon should be considered harmful to the environment. These stable carbon compounds should be buried, where the carbon they contain can’t leach back into the biosphere.
