So you are having a clear out at home. It’s always amazing what you find tucked away in drawers and cupboards. Really? I put it there? But that was 2 years ago! In among the rubbish and the occasional gem, if you are anything like me you will find the odd mobile phone handset. OK, so you’re not going to do anything with it, but do you realise that old handset could be worth cash? Yes, actual lolly that you get your hands on and go out and spend on anything you like. Glad you started tidying up now?
You should really recycle mobile phones as a rule anyway. They contain toxic substances so really shouldn’t be tossed out in the rubbish where they might end up in a landfill site. Plus you can sell mobile phones to a recycling company so why lose out on that extra cash. You can do the right thing by the environment and get paid for it too. It’s a win win situation.
So that old phone that turned up in your spring clean. Wondering what to do next? If you are going to recycle mobiles phones that you have lying around at home, the process couldn’t be easier. You will be offered a price based on the model that you have. Obviously newer models will command higher pay outs. If you are happy with the price quoted, you’ll get sent a prepaid envelope for you to send it off. Once the handset has been tested as per the terms you agreed to, you will be sent a cheque. To spend how you please. How easy is that?
So next time you find an old handset, don’t just chuck it away with the rest of the rubbish. Think about the environment and think about what you could do with a bit of extra cash. What could be better than helping the planet and being able to treat yourself at the same time?
