Unlocking cash from your old trash24 November 2005 Your office phones can be worth thousands of pounds to local charitys and schools. Office phones that normally end up in the bin. Old mobile phones can be recycled to raise valuable cash for charity. So if you are guilty of throwing away your mobile phones dead or alive, read on! "Throwing an old mobile phone away is not a good idea to say the least. Mobiles contain highly toxic substance`s. Once dumped in landfill sites, the phone casing corrodes and the cadmium leeches out into the soil. So it’s not a very environmentally friendly move to dump your old mobile. But that’s not the only reason you should not throw your phone away. We recycle old mobile phones to help all scarboroughs good causes. Another reason for recycling your phone is that it can help developing countries. Many developing nations do not have a comprehensive landline infrastructure. As a result, mobile phones may be the only way of communicating over a distance. We send old mobiles to these countries, thereby helping improve communication." So put your old mobile phones to one side. Free collection can be arranged. To find out how to get yours collected free, call direct on 01723 367111 or send them in sturdy packaging to Coastal Communication 1 Hanover road Scarborough YO12 7E . You’ll be helping the environment and helping our fundraising. What’s more, it won’t cost you a penny. FACTS Mobile phones contain cadmium, a dangerous toxic substance. Binned mobile phones end up in landfill sites, where corrosion to their batteries causes cadmium to leech out into the surrounding soil. Phones that are unsuitable for recycling are disposed of safely, without harm to the environment. Mobiles are valuable and can be recycled to help the environment. 40 million people in Britain have a mobile phone. Around 12 million people will change their mobile in 2005 yet less than 5% will be recycled. From august 2005 the new WEEE directive will mean you will be breaking the law just throwing the phone away. |
