I was just cleaning up my painting area & realized I have about 80+ sprues all in a box for a terrain project I never got to. I wish we could send them back to be recycled. I also found about 50 sets of instructions from all sorts of old models. It was like memory lane of the last 5 years of GW gaming.

I seem to remember in an old white dwarf there being some sort of call for you to return the old empty spuers to the shops, cant remeber the number though.

if they cant be recycled i wonder what they did with them, something sinister i suspect.

Ive heard rumours there creating a new breed of wargamers: half man half GW plastic kit, soon Jevis will be a god to this new race. He will be...(Dramatic lightning)...Unstopable.

but probably recycled or finds its way into the hands of the staff or something.

I'm going to have that in my head all day.

If folks are actively looking to recycle their old sprue, they should take a look at the recycling program Wargames Factory has.

Probably only useful for those living Stateside, but awesome regardless. Whenever my box o' sprue gets to overflowing, I cull about 50% of the material and ship it out to them to be made into cool historicals, zombies, and shock troops.
