Your old mobile phones can raise money for us! |
Thyroid UK has teamed up with Re:cycle Your Mobile to collect unwanted mobile telephones for recycling and to help raise funds. |
 |
The scheme couldn’t be simpler. You just put your unwanted mobile phone into a freepost envelope, and pop it in the post.
To get your freepost envelope, just click the link below, which will take you to the special web page that has been set up for Thyroid UK:

Thyroid UK funds can benefit by up to £10 for each phone received! |
Why recycle your mobile phone?
(apart from helping to raise money for Thyroid UK!)
If you just throw your phone into the dustbin, it gets taken to a landfill site and will take 1,000 years to decompose!
Did you know that there are now more mobile phones than people in the UK and a staggering 70 million redundant handsets are languishing in cupboards and drawers?
The average mobile phone owner has two phones that they do not use, which could be recycled for re-use. Mobiles and their batteries contain elements such as mercury, nickel and gallium arsenide which, if not disposed of carefully, can be extremely harmful to our environment.
It is guaranteed that the phones sent to recycleyourmobile.co.uk will not go to landfill. And anything that cannot be re-used or refurbished is recycled, either to extract reusable elements such as copper, or to be used as the raw material for new products.
