If you are looking to sell your old mobile phone then there are plenty of reputable companies who will take it off your hands and pay you a handsome reward for your recycling efforts, but some people might be interested in getting their hands on an old handset which has been recycled and subsequently refurbished.
You can of course head to the high street and check out the wares at your local pawn shop-style establishment where people have traded in their old phones for cash or store credit. However, these places are not always run by experts in mobile restoration, so you will really want to check out the online options where fully refurbished handsets are available.
Various mobile phone recycling companies operate schemes where they sell on the models which they buy from members of the public, after having restored them to a condition which is approaching pristine.
One of the advantages of buying online is that you may often receive a guarantee for the product lasting up to a year, along with a charger and even an instruction booklet, so that you actually know how to use your pre-loved mobile.
It is nice to know that if you recycle your old mobile phone it could find its way into the hands of someone else who will be able to get even more pleasure out of using it for months and years to come.
Encouraging recycling across all areas of society is necessary if targets for carbon emission reductions are to be met and mobile phone recycling is a great place to start, because so many people have unwanted handsets sitting unappreciated at home.
Whether you are buying or selling an old phone, it is always worth comparing the prices and offers available, to get the best deal.
