How Mobile Phone Recycling Can Help People Off The Scrap Heap

Which would you choose: money in your pocket or helping the poorer people of the world

? Seems like a simple choice on first glance but if your wardrobe is full of clothes you dont wear, the choice is perhaps more complex than it first appears. There are always choices, choices between signing up to give 2 a month to a worthy charity or saving that 2 a month and buying a new pair of shoes or jeans.

We should not of course feel guilty about spending our money on exactly what we choose and thats why its great that rather than being asked to make this choice, we are given other ways to help people who dont have any choices. Giving a small amount of money to charity each month is a great way to give without ruining a budget, as is either sponsoring a friend to take part in an event or being the one asking for sponsorship. Other ways include having a clear out of your wardrobe, drawers, kitchen cupboards and living room and giving anything you dont need or want any more to the charity shop or selling it at a car boot sale and donating the proceeds to a charity that means something to you.

One way of doing your bit and really making a difference that has become popular and widespread is mobile phone recycling. Its so easy and lets be honest, much as we think we one day might use the phone again or sell it to put money in our pockets when were feeling the pinch the truth is that its likely to stay there until it no longer works and is no good to anyone. And by that time youll be so sick of it taking up space that youll probably just throw it in the bin and with it, throw away small amounts of precious metals such as gold and platinum and add to the massive scrap heaps which some people literally live on.

Its not about giving money to charity and not knowing where it goes or what it can do, choose the right scheme and youll be told exactly what good youre doing. For example, one scheme lets you know that one mobile phone in fully working order, no matter how old, scuffed or unfashionable, will pay for seeds that will allow HIV sufferers in Africa to grow food that will give them strength and allow them to lead long lives. This is pretty amazing when you consider that it might get you 20 if you post it off to a commercial mobile phone recycling company, a 20 note that you likely dont desperately need but some in the Third World undoubtedly do.
