Simply entering in the manufacturer and model will bring up a list of over a dozen different recycling sites and the prices they offer.
Phone recycling is a burgeoning industry and one closely related to cartridge remanufacturing, with many collectors and brokers involved in both trades.
Mobile Phone Recycling emphasizes the environmental benefits of turning in old phones as well as the obvious draw for most users of earning back money.
“Selling your old phones won’t just bring financial rewards, as recycling also has a positive impact on helping the environment. A typical mobile phone contains elements of nickel, lead, lithium and other potentially harmful chemicals. Mobile phone recycling companies will dispose of these harmful elements correctly, safely and in an environmentally friendly manner,” says the website.
“And it’s not just about recycling, as the mobile phone recycling companies are committed to reusing your old phone where possible.
Often, this will mean giving your old phone a new lease of life by sending it to be used in a developing market, where the cost of a new mobile phone is prohibitive.
“So, in addition to the financial rewards and the chance to reclaim a drawer packed with old phones, by choosing to recycle your old mobiles you can have a positive impact on the environment.”
Mobile Phone Recycling offers a wide range of different recycling sites for users to choose from, including close links with Envirofone, who offer to send out freepost envelopes for sending in phones, and say that 95 percent of all phones they receive are reused.
