I suppose it depends what you collect. For example I collect dictionaries, they all come from charity shops or car boots or somewhere second hand. The local charity shops often just bin dictionaries and other books (I know from talking to the charity staff) that don't sell and they can't always be recycled. Personally I don't see the point in a lot of the recent plastic collectables like Funkos, they can't be good for the planet. At the end of the day people should do what makes them happy.
I like to imagine that every English person is so proper that they keep an emergency dictionary in the trunk right next to the spare tire and road flares.
