Recycle Mobile Phones

There are a number of reasons in favour of recycling your old used mobile phones.

Importantly recycling your phone is the most environmentally responsible thing to do rather than simply throwing it away in the household rubbish where it will inevitably be dumped in a landfill site. The components that go to make mobile phones can contain very harmful substances such as Palladium, Beryllium, Rhodium, Lead, Cadmium, Zinc, Lithium and Copper to name but a few. By disposing of old phones irresponsibly you could contribute to these harmful substances leaking into the environment causing harm. On the other hand, if you chose to use a mobile phone recycling company you would be sure that the phones would be recycled in an environmentally friendly way.

Recycling your old unused mobile phone handset can make you money. If you have never recycled before you may have two or three unused phones. Depending on the make and model, you could make significant money as top models can be sold for hundreds of pounds. Even older phone models will be worth something so it is worth your while checking for your phone on Handsets.eu to see what prices is being offered for your old phone.

Using a phone recycle company takes the hassle out of selling. The process for selling an old phone to a recycle company is very straightforward. Essentially you accept a price, enter your details and the phone details on their site and they will send you a freepost padded envelope for you to send them your phone. Once the phone has been received and processed you will receive your payment. Choosing the recycle option is far easier than other methods such as EBay where you have to try to sell the phone by writing descriptive text, creating images and actively monitoring an auction, not to mention whether the buyer is reputable.

Hundreds of thousands of used phones are recycled each month. Search on Handsets.eu and join the trend.
