It is always a great thing to contribute positively to the environment and it feels good when you recycle something, especially an electronic device, rather than contributing to the already huge landfills. Mobile phones are one of the most popular electronic devices that you can find being used in the UK today and as a result, many are made redundant when they are still in perfect working order simply because a new model has been released. As a result, it was inevitable that environmental initiatives would be put in place which allowed for them to be recycled and disposed of properly and there are now many companies and charities that will take your old mobile phones as a donation and either recycle or pass on your phone to those less fortunate.
You might start wondering about how you can benefit from recycling your mobile phone now that you know what the options are. When people first started recycling phones they gave them up freely without getting anything in return as this was really the only option other than throwing them in the bin and today you can still do this by giving your phone to charity. You can of course be paid to recycle your old mobile phone but often the benefits of giving to charity outweigh the few pounds you'll get from sending it to a private company. The condition of the used mobile phone will determine what you can do with it as many charities won't have a use for a broken mobile phone.

However, if your phone is broken it is worth contacting a company that will get some use out of it anyway, or at the very least operate an environmental initiative that disposes of it in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. These companies are often able to reuse certain parts when refurbishing old phones or as spares for those phones which need repairing. As part of Corporate Social Responsibility schemes, your company may be able to help you dispose correctly of everything from mobile phones and computers, to paper and printer ink cartridges so with so much environmental awareness in every local community, there really is no excuse to throw anything that can be harmful into the bin.
So now you need to ask yourself what effort it would take to recycle your old mobile phones and realise that the answer is very little and the results of your actions could be huge.
