our tip: Why not dig out any old handsets from people you know and send them in for mobile phone recycling! |
It's estimated there is almost 100 Million old Mobile Phones knocking around peoples houses in the UK alone. Over 15 million Mobiles are Upgraded each year but only 3 Million are re-used or recycled. Thats over £1 Billion worth of Mobile Phones sat in drawers collecting dust. Rather than keeping a drawer full of Mobiles collecting dust, dig them all out and not only could you earn some extra money but you could also help save the Environment at the same time! Some Mobile Phone Batteries contain Cadmium that can pollute water, Mobile Phones also contain Lead and Beryllium both of which if not disposed of correctly can be harmful to the Environment.
There are now specialist web based companies who will take your old phone off you and pay you cash. You can currently earn between £20 - £150 from these companies depending on which handset you send in and what kind of condition it is in. Before sending your phone to these companies you must ensure that it is in a decent working order, have nothing more than slight damage caused by normal wear and tear, have the original battery and charger (May be worth buying a new battery so you get a higher price!) if possible and will switch on. Some companies will even purchase faulty handsets although you would usually only get 10% - 50% of the working price. Phones do need to be fairly modern, they don't want any house bricks from the 1980's! 3G phones are not widely accepted either as there isn't a massive market for them at this point in time.
So once you've dug through your drawers and have a whole pile to trade in for lots of money contact the Mobile Phone specialists we have listed below. Its worth getting a quote off both as one may offer you more money depending on the model of your phone.
