Should I recycle my mobile phone?

Recycling is highly encouraged in modern times, and you can recycle your second hand mobile phones too. After you’ve finished with a mobile phone and you don’t have any further use for it, there are a few reasons why you should think about recycling it.

Tip: Use the PhoneShop.co.uk Mobile Phone Recycling Calculator to compare prices from all the leading UK mobile phone recycling firms- you can compare the market in one easy search – just type in the name of your device and we’ll do all the hard work! Our tool also works for gadgets such as iPods.

1.      It helps the environment

Recycling anything helps the environment, and it’s no different with your second hand mobile phones. Phones contain copper, plastic and other metals which are preserved if you recycle them to be used again. Recycling your old phones also helps to reduce air and water pollution, so it’s great for the environment all round!

2.      You can make money

Rather than letting your old phones just sit around the house, why not try to make some money out of them? Certain companies will pay you to recycle your second hand mobile phones, which means you could make some extra cash to put towards your next phone or something else you’re saving up for. One of the great things about this is that some companies will even buy them if they’re not in full working condition, so there’s no excuses now for not getting rid of those broken handsets.

3.      It can help others

Sometimes, old phones are sent to third-world countries where they are used by the people or sold on to others. Many poorer people are unable to get hold of a phone, so recycling your old phone could help people in poverty to stay connected easier. Alternatively, they may either use parts from the phone to fix other things, sell on the parts to make some money or sell on the entire handset to make cash to buy food and other necessities for their families.
