There are 90 million old mobile phones sitting in cupboards and drawers around the UK. Yet only 20% of UK mobile phones are recycled through environmentally certified channels. Although they are small, mobile phones contain very toxic substances and mean big trouble for the environment. By recycling your handsets through the correct channels, you are diverting them from landfill sites where they can release hazardous substances into the environment.
For every mobile phone, ActionAid receives £3.00
£3 could provide preventive health support in India for 10 families or could help provide clean drinking water to a family of 5 for 6 days.
For every printer cartridge ActionAid receives £1.00
£1.00 could buy 16 cocoa seeds for a poor farmer or could send 4 campaigning postcards to you local MP, supporting the rights of girls to go to school.
It won't cost you a penny to recycle
We will provide you with a freepost envelope for your phone.
