How much stuff do you chuck away every day?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a question that all of us should probably ask ourselves more often. We\u2019re so used to mindlessly throwing anything we don\u2019t need in the bin that we don\u2019t consider where that stuff goes.<\/p>\n
Well, most of us actually know already \u201d\u201c it goes to the landfill. Unfortunately, we\u2019ve sent a bit too much stuff to the landfill, and now we\u2019re running out of space.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been suggested that the UK will run out of landfill space in less than 10 years. We might not have anywhere to dump our rubbish by 2024, which would be a disaster for the environment and our health.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why National Recycle Week \u201d\u201c which is this week – is so important.<\/p>\n
The theme of this year\u2019s National Recycle Week is \u201d\u02dcrecycling at home and away\u2019, which is something we\u2019re keen on here at musicMagpie…well, the home bit at least.<\/p>\n
CDs, DVDs, Games, Electronics and Clothes \u201d\u201c the kind of clutter every home has and the items you can sell to us \u201d\u201c are a big part of the landfill problem.<\/p>\n
Every year, millions of these items are thrown away. Some end up in the landfill, where they sit for thousands of years (as they don\u2019t biodegrade). Others end up being incinerated, releasing toxic gases into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no \u201d\u02dcclean\u2019 way to chuck your old stuff away. Luckily, we\u2019ve provided a great way of recycling your unwanted stuff!<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s not just your CDs and DVDs we help you recycle either: by sending all of your stuff in one box, it means we only have to send out one courier (who you get for FREE) and getting it to us is much more environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n
Once we get your box, we recycle that too. Last year, we recycled 1,336,720kg of cardboard! That\u2019s the equivalent of:<\/p>\n
206 African Elephants<\/strong><\/p>\n 3 International Space Stations<\/strong><\/p>\n 1,934 Formula One car<\/strong><\/p>\n 16,920 Wayne Rooneys<\/strong><\/p>\n 445,573 Xbox Ones<\/strong><\/p>\n 2,946,982 iPads<\/strong><\/p>\n A lot of cardboard then!<\/p>\n When you sell your stuff with musicMagpie, you can rest assured that you\u2019re doing bit for your environment. And you get a bit of cash too!<\/p>\n So if you\u2019re planning on decluttering, make sure you do it responsibly and recycle everything you can.
