What is Media Recycling?

One of our lesser known work experience sessions that we run at the Hub, is Media Recycling.

This is where we take books and DVDs that have been donated to our Scrapstore and sell them to different apps that buy them second hand. Our trainees work in a production line as a team, quality checking the products, then up to 4 scanning the barcodes (a tablet per app) and boxing up the successful sales. The trainees will take then take the boxes to the post office or other shops to be shipped. The money, once received, goes back into the Charity to enable us to continue to provide a wide range of sessions for our trainees.

Today’s group had the best haul in one session to date with £49.43 worth of sales. Media Recycling is a popular session that we run 4 times a week, and as we have different work coaches running the session, we like having some healthy competition on who can raise the most ££

Well done Ross and the Thursday team
