Mobile Phone Recycling
On average mobile phones are replaced every 18 months in the UK, but are designed to last much longer – about 7-10 years!
Through recycling, these usable phones can be refurbished and sold on to developing countries, and older phones can be safely disposed of to ensure that harmful materials do not pollute the environment.
For every phone that can be resold, the Hospice receives £4.00.
You can drop your old mobile phones into any of our charity shops, or directly into the Hospice reception.
If you'd like to run a collection in your school, office or business, we can also supply posters and collection envelopes - please contact Jayne on 0121 472 1191 for more details.
