If you have an old mobile phone lying around the house did you know that you can trade it in for cash? A company I use, Envirofone, will give you cash for your old mobiles.
It’s very simple to use, you just register with the site, put in the make of phone and they will tell you how much it’s worth. If you decide to trade, they will send you a Freepost jiffy bag to return your mobile in and then after it’s tested they will send you a cheque. I’ve made over £100 so far.
You can also recycle mobiles at Tesco and Boots.
-Tesco will give you 300 clubcard points, worth £12 in deals vouchers or they will donate £3 to Marie Curie Cancer Care if you recycle an old working mobile with them. They will even give you 50 clubcard points and donate 50p to the charity if you have an old non working mobile. You can visit here or you can pick up a pre-paid envelope in a Tesco store.
-Boots do a similar scheme, register with them, enter your mobile details and they will give you up to 5000 advantage points, redeemable in their stores
From all the sites,’There are an estimated 80 million old mobile phones in the UK and over 80% of the phone is recyclable’ so this is a win win scheme for all concerned.
