About us
Phone recycling is a way of creating financially productive partnerships with charities, businesses & members of the public. We want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to benefit from a mobile phone whilst keeping the environmental impact of ownership down to a minimum.
By reusing these phones, we offer a socially and environmentally responsible way for you to dispose of old mobile phones.
By doing this you can:
- Generate funds for charities.
- Receive payment for your old mobile phone.
- Help provide affordable mobile phones to citizens in developing countries
- Rest assured that your old phones are being properly and efficiently recycled inline with current EU legislation.
Mobile phones, particularly old ones are well known to contain toxic elements that become real hazards when dumped in landfill. We will recycle all donated non-functioning mobile phones for their valuable metals and plastics. We carry out this process in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with current EU legislation.
