Too much trash

I think wizards just prints too much trash and offers no way to recycle.

I have a box that can hold up to 4000 cards that I use to store all the random (un)commons I've picked during the years from drafts, random boosters and other products. And I have 3 more and one 2000 size one. What am I suppose to do with all these trash tier cards that literally nobody wants?

I think wotc should offer some kind of program that lets you return all your unwanted cards for cards you do want.

Paper recycling is always an option, and is considerably cheaper and better for the environment than sending the cards back to WotC.

And there is always someone who wants your commons and uncommons, there are plenty of online market places where you can buy and sell single cards or in bulk.

I've heard of some stores buying bulk commons/uncommons. I'm not exactly sure of what rates are as I've never looked into it myself . I've also seen people post in various social media platforms trying to sell them as well

StarCityGames buys cards in bulk.

What I do is take my bulk cards to a local shop and negotiate a deal for some booster packs or a little store credit if they have something I want. Even a shop that doesn't want them will take them for free.

That is true.

On the other hand, there are always new players, and most new players are more than happy to take a bunch of old commons/uncommons to get their collection started.
