subject: Mobile Phone Recycling- Turning Phones Into Much Needed Cash [print this page] Many of us simply throw them to the back of a cupboard never to see the light of day again whereas some people may hand them down to siblings or their parents to make use. However, there is one thing that we should all consider doing when it comes to our unwanted mobile phones; we should all give serious consideration to recycling them because not only does this help the environment because the parts can be reused but there are schemes out there that are run by some of the largest companies in the market that turn your old phones into some much needed money for charities.
Working handsets can be fixed for resale and those that have seen the end of their product lifecycle will be completely recycled. Money can be used to fund some very important charity schemes in countries around the world that need our help more than any. Countries such as Malawi receive help from the leading charities around the world and programmes that help to reduce the casualties of HIV and AIDS are helped considerably by people like you and me sending in our unwanted phones to be resold or recycled.
It is not just phones that you can use as old cameras, iPod"s and some ink cartridges can all be used to fund these great projects. I am sure that, like me, you have plenty of unused or unwanted electronics lying around the house and all you need to do is send them in and the post in free as well.
There are people that need the funds a lot more than we do and sending in phones or cameras that we do not even need anymore is something that is easily done and something we should all do. So next time you change your phone, don"t just sling it in your cupboard, go online and send it in to be resold or recycled and you can do your bit to make the world a better place for the less fortunate.
