Recycle your old mobile phones
Recycling your old mobile phone is a great way to make some extra cash from something you most likely won’t use again. You can receive a cash payment from 20 to 200 pounds depending on the model of mobile you have to exchange for cash. For example if you have something like the Nokia N96 which is one of the newest smart phones you can expect to receive around 200 pounds! If the mobile phone stuck in a cupboard is old and tired like a Nokia 5110 then the only reason you would send it in is to help the environment as you will be lucky to receive a pound for it.
What happens to your recycled mobile phone?
When the recycling company receives your old mobile phone there are two possible paths they may take, recycle or re-use. But before they categorize your old handset the old battery is removed and disposed of via a specialist battery recycler. All the materials from the phones batteries will be re-used within the battery industry.
If it is possible to re-use your old mobile phone then the companies who buy your handset first have to put it through extensive testing. If the handset passes the testing or only requires a minor fix then it will be refurnished which generally involves giving the handset a new outer case and re-using the screen and electronics from within. Once refurnished the handset is given a new box and sent on its way for re-use. Often re-use will be outside of the UK.
If it is not possible to re-use your old mobile phone because it is broken or simple just too old they will recycle the mobile phone. The handset will be disposed off via a specialist mobile phone recycler who will re-use all parts off the mobile phone. Exchanging your old mobile phone for cash not only earns you money but also help to reduce the effect our luxuries have on the environment. It is the responsibility of us all to recycle and not bury the handsets away in a cupboard just in case we might need it, come on, we all do it!
