Buying PC, video and console games can be a costly activity. The game may be well worth its original cost for the thrills that it gives us.

But what can you do if you don't like the game or get bored of it after a few months or years?

It is now an easy thing to get back some of the money paid to buy the game.

By using a games, music and movies recycling website you can revel in the benefits:

1. Get cash for your used CDs and DVDs

2. Know that the discs will be recycled and re-used

3. Liberate space in your living quarters (if only to buy more games!)

The process of recycling games is beneficial for you and everyone else.

Huge amounts of games discs are thrown away and end up on landfill sites which is a negative thing to put upon the planet as they take hundreds of years to decompose or break down.

Most of the discs thrown out still have value and cash is being offered for them right now.

• Music Magpie is a website where you simply enter the barcodes of the CDs or DVDs found on the case.

• Enter a minimum of 5 titles into the site as this is the minimum amount of discs they will accept. Each one will display the value they will pay for each.

• Once you have filled up the basket with all the games you want recycled you must input the address so they can send a freepost envelope.

• After a few days the envelope is posted to you which can then be filled up with the games discs.

Finally the envelope should be sealed and posted and once they receive your discs and you will be sent a cheque within 7 days, usually less.

Your old discs will either be reconditioned and re-used or recycled correctly.

Summary

You may consider doing this if you have loads of games that you never play any more or discs that you were about to take to the rubbish tip.

Instead of throwing them out recycle them! Recuperate the cost you paid and make some cash this week!

You may have a gold mine of games you forgot about
