It is estimated that 2500 tonnes of CDs are discarded and sent to landfill each year, with tens of millions more simply left lying around unplayed. musicmagpie.com gives people the opportunity to quickly and easily convert these unused CDs into hard cash instead of simply throwing them away, helping to reduce the overall number sent to landfill each year.

musicmagpie.co.uk, is urging people not to throw away their old or unwanted CDs, DVDs and games, but to recycle them for cash, encouraging consumers to take an eco-friendly approach to generating extra money.

Rob Fox, Marketing Director for musicmagpie.co.uk, said: “As more people move to digital music players more CDs will be thrown away, heavily impacting on the environment. Recycling old CDs can help reduce this impact, so rather than throw away old albums why not do the green thing and recycle them?

“Even if the CDs aren’t in perfect condition they can be repaired – and even heavy scratches can be cleaned up. And if a CD is not reusable it is almost 100% recyclable. Musicmagpie gives music lovers a great way to get rid of all their old CDs, DVDs and games and make some extra cash, while doing their bit for the environment!”
