NSPCC partners with mobile recycling firm for fundraising
Friday, April 8, 2011 - 13:21:21
The NSPCC is hoping to drum up some extra donations in the form of recycled mobile phones and other electronic gadgets by working with The Recycling Factory to help people give away their old products to charity.
Anyone can recycle their mobile phone, netting the NSPCC up to £413 for an unwanted high end handset. Retail chain SPAR is getting involved with this drive by stocking freepost envelopes at many of its high street outlets and corner shops, allowing customers to grab one and pop their gadgets in the post without having to pay a penny.
On average, each gadget you donate will result in £10 going straight to the NSPCC, with mobile phones getting them even better returns. You can even recycle old ink cartridges to bag £5 a pop for this worthy cause.
As well as recycling old mobile phones, The Recycling Factory has said that it will be handing out 120 handsets every 12 months in order to give vulnerable youngsters who cannot afford to buy a mobile something to use to keep in contact with their friends and carers. It will also be helping children who need new mobile numbers make the changes necessary, so that they can avoid abuse and cyberbullying, which can be a real issue for the young people of today.
In 2011 there have been many stories showing just how mobile recycling can help out charitable causes, with many recycling firms allowing you to choose to donate the value of your old device to a worth organisation which will put the cash to good use in the real world. There is no point in leaving old mobiles lying around and gathering dust when they could be recycled to make the world a better place.
