Old Soldiers Recycling Program
Have you ever felt guilty about throwing away the empty sprue from a set of hard plastic figures? Ever puzzled over whether it was okay to put it in your recycle bin or if the trash guys just tossed it into a landfill somewhere because it wasn’t a milk jug or soda bottle? Well, all that guilt and uncertainty can be put behind you now!
What?
Wargames Factory is pleased to announce our Old Soldiers Recycling Program where not only do you do the “right” thing – but you might just get something out of it too!
How?
First, fill out the simple form below and hit "submit" -- we'll email you a copy of the filled out form including the address to send it to. Then just drop your leftover plastic bits and sprues into an envelope with your filled out form and get it into the mail to us.
The form has a line for “# of bits” so whether you’re sending 1 sprue or 500 different pieces, you only need to use one piece of paper.
The Good Part
For every piece of plastic you send in (i.e. the “# of bits” you marked on the form) you get one entry into a monthly sweepstakes to win five box sets of your choice! So send in 500 pieces and get 500 chances to win that month!
And, get this, we’re not talking about JUST our plastic. Any hard plastic (polystyrene) is eligible. So if you have a whole bin full of plastic sprues from that “certain” other plastics manufacturer lying about – they work too! Recycle ‘em!
Questions that you MIGHT ask (and perhaps even frequently)…oh bother! – the obligatory FAQ:
Why are we doing this?
First, because it’s the “right” thing to do. As you may know, Wargames Factory uses recycled plastics for our figures and this is a way for us to ensure that the leftovers continue to be recycled.
Second, we’ve seen a lot of conversations on the various miniature forums over the years and also have had a lot of people ask us about this and thought it would be good and responsible to provide an easy solution.
You just want to save money on plastic, right?
Actually, plastic is pretty darn cheap. And to be completely honest, this program will probably not pay for itself. But, it’s the “right” thing to do.
What do you do with it when you get it?
We’ll recycle it! It goes into a "grinder" that turns it back into pellets to make new plastic!
The Fine Print
Ready to Recycle for a Chance to Win?

Thank you and good luck!

The Fine Print
- Only hard plastic (polystyrene) please – any color!
- Be reasonable – EVERY little bit shouldn’t count for an entry. Honor system in effect!
- Postage costs are your responsibility – if your local wargames shop wants to pool submissions and send them all in at once, feel free!
- Winners will be announced on the website and contacted via email and/or phone
- Submissions received are eligible for the next month’s drawing. Submissions must be received at Wargames Factory by the last business day of each month to make the deadline. Submissions received after this will be rolled into the following month’s drawing. (i.e. you’ll always have a chance – it just might be a month later than you thought) (Note: a good strategy is to send something every month to make sure you’re in each drawing!)
