Games Workshop Recycling Program

I saw an interesting post over on Warhammer Community announcing an upcoming recycling program for old sprues and paint pots.

Your old sprues may soon find new purpose as playground equipment, thanks to a new recycling scheme that is being trialed with our recycling partner TerraCycle® at selected UK Warhammer stores from later this month.

The Warhammer Recycling Programme, a first-of-its-kind scheme for Warhammer, will see ‘sprue bins’ popping up in various UK locations by the end of March, and means that local hobbyists can recycle old sprues, paint pots, and even unwanted plastic miniatures.

Currently this program is only available in the UK, but I have to ask myself - is this really worth it? How many people will take advantage? In the future, will gaming shops be forced by Games Workshop to dedicate space and manage this program locally? Will it catch on in the US (I doubt it)?

To many questions, but you can read the entire announcement HERE.

What are your thoughts?
