Tag : mobile phone refurbished

According to new research by Nokia, one of the world's leadingmobile phone manufacturers, only ten per cent of us bother torecycle our old phones, the rest of us squirreling them away indrawers at home or, even worse, chucking them in the bin.

Obviously, from an environmental point of view this is a prettyscandalous state of affairs, especially when there are so many waysto recycle a mobile phone.

All the major mobile phone companies are members of Fonebak, anindustry-wide initiative that provides recycling bins in highstreet stores.

In fact, it's so easy to recycle a mobile phone by dropping it intoone of these bins, there's really no excuse for throwing your oldphone away.

If you can't make it to a store, simply remove your phone's SIMcard, pop it in a jiffy bag and mail it to 'FREEPOST Fonebak'.

Your phone will then be refurbished for use in a developing countryor, if it's not suitable for re-use, it'll be sent for recyclingensuring that nothing ends up in landfill.

All the major mobile phones shops will also accept your old mobile phonefor recycling, again either sending your reconditioned phone to adeveloping country or selling them on to raise much-needed funds.
