Why Mobile Phone Recycling is the 'In' Thing

Over 90 million mobile phones are not used and left in drawers to gather dust rather than being used correctly. So have you thought about what you will do if you got a new phone, what would happen to the old one? Phone recycling companies are sprouting up to help to correctly reuse and where needed, dispose of and recycle these phones in the correct manner as well as to increase awareness to this growing problem.

The way it works is that recycling companies, such as envirofone (http://www.recyclemobilephones.co.uk/envirofone/) give you money for recycling your old phone. Just how much depends on the make and model of the phone as well as its condition.

What people have been doing is throwing their old phones in the bin and when they end up in landfills, toxins such as cadmium, mercury and arsenic, poison the air, soil and surround water supplies.

With a vast proportion of these old phones being in fully working order, all you need to do to help the environment is to go to a mobile phone recycling (http://www.recyclemobilephones.co.uk) comparison site, like recyclemobilephones.co.uk, which saves you time and money when it comes to getting you the best deal. You will then see a list of prices that various recycling companies will give for your phone. You just then pick the deal you want and complete the form and you should receive details of where to send the phone to in this process.
