Recycle your old mobile phone
Do you have old‚ unwanted mobile phones lying around at the back of your drawers or cupboards?

There are currently 70 million Mobile Phone subscribers in the UK‚ who replace their handsets every 18 months on average. All this means that there are a lot of old mobile phones sitting around‚ unused and gathering dust...
 
Go green and help older people at the same time!
Unfortunately‚ mobile phones contain substances like cadmium‚ arsenic and mercury that need to be disposed of in a safe and environmentally-friendly manner. But the good news is that by recycling your old mobile‚ you can help raise money for Age Concern!

There are an estimated 80 million unwanted mobile phones in the UK‚ less than 10% of which are recycled at present. Each of these phones are worth £3 to Age Concern in any condition‚ and the money raised will support our vital work helping vulnerable older people.

So‚ go on‚ send us your old mobile‚ do your bit for the environment‚ and help us to support older people throughout the UK!
