The UK produces around 434 million tons of rubbish every year. In England alone,
£1.6 billion is spent for waste management, from the collection and rubbish removal
up to the transportation of rubbish to the landfill sites. Every person in the UK
averages half a ton of rubbish produced per year and this includes purchases that
are discarded after some time including DVDs and CDs.
The most convenient way of disposing rubbish is by throwing it on landfill sites.
Two kinds of waste are usually buried in the landfill sites. One is from households
and collected by the city or municipality’s waste management department more commonly
known as Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and the other one is Industrial waste from
manufacturing plants and other equally big industries.
But the land surrounding these landfill sites can become contaminated by the rubbish
buried underneath the sites. Several studies have already been conducted on the
hazards of landfill sites as not all rubbish dumped in them is decompose after some
time. In fact most of the rubbish buried do not decompose but create even more harm
to the land, water and even the air surrounding the landfill sites.
As a responsible corporate citizen, our activities like
buying games, buying CDs and selling mobile phones for cash
actually help reduce rubbish for it extends the life cycle of the discs and mobile
phones. Once again, look inside your drawers and cupboards and see for yourself
how many of these discs will eventually go to the landfills. By now you will have
realized that all of those discs and old phones will at some point find its way
to the landfills. Our recycling method which includes buying games, buying CDs and
selling mobile phones for cash delays the process giving us more time as the government
and private sectors work hand in hand to find a solution to this growing concern.
While we still have not found a way to completely eradicate rubbish, we try to address
this pressing concern the only way we know how and that is through recycling. So
the next time you think about throwing your discs away, think again. Wouldn’t you
want us to continue buying games, buying CDs and selling mobile phones for cash
instead?
