Charity shops say they are struggling under thousands of copies of 50 Shades of Grey which they cannot sell or recycle.
The exploits of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele once gripped the nation,
and with 5.3 million copies flying off the shelves it became best-selling book
in British history.
But now the country has amassed a “paper mountain” of unwanted copies of EL
James’s erotic novel, suggesting that readers are bored with the “mummy porn”
trilogy.
The books cannot be recycled because of the glue which was used to bind them.
Cancer Research UK have revealed that as soon as they sell one of the novels,
they get two donations in its place.
Ben Wadsworth, WeBuyBooks.co.uk Marketing Manager, said: "We have thousands
of copies of all the Fifty Shades books, but we've stopped selling them because
no one was buying them.
