The feel-good factor: Recycle Your Mobile for Charity
By re-using or recycling
your old phone, you’re already doing your bit for the environment. For
an even bigger feel-good factor, you could join the growing number of
people who donate their old mobiles to charity.
Here are some of your
feel-good options:
 |
Donate your phone
to the mobile collection scheme of your favourite good cause.
Many charities as well as some schools, youth groups and
churches are now using these schemes. This enables them to raise
funds by selling donated phones to the mobile recycling
companies, who refurbish and re-sell working phones, and safely
recycle phones that are beyond repair. |
|
|
Donate your phone
to one of the mobile recycling organisations that specialise in
fund-raising for charities. These organisations resell or safely
recycle donated mobiles and give all the proceeds to charity. In
recent years they have raised millions of pounds for hundreds of
national and smaller charities, including children’s hospices,
cancer support groups and environmental charities.
