Mobile Phone Recycling

Mobile phone recycling has seen a massive surge in popularity in the last 12 months. Given the popularity of mobile phone use in the UK and the poor economic conditions it is perhaps not surprising that UK consumers are choosing the mobile phone recycling option to make some extra money.

According to online competitive intelligence firm Hitwise, searches for mobile phone recycling type keywords have trebled on the major search engines in the last 12 months. They quote that keyword terms such as “recycle mobile phones”, “mobile phone recycling” and “phone recycling” – increased by 189% between the week ending 17/05/2008 and the week ending 16/05/2009.

Interestingly, Hitwise notes that mobile phone recycling is not always performed solely for altruistic environmental reasons. This can be proved by the quadrupling of keyword terms that couple the financial benefits with phone recycling. Instances where there has been the massive growth are “recycle mobile phones for cash” and “recycling for cash”.

It is hardly surprising that mobile phone recycling has taken off with such vigour given that you could currently receive (as of August 2009) as much as £375 for an Apple iPhone 3GS 32GB in good condition from Mobile Phone Xchange.
