Mobile phone recycling

Turn your old mobile phones into cash

Most of us have old mobile phones lurking in the back of a drawer somewhere, but not so many realise that recycling an old mobile phone could earn you up to £200 depending on the model you own.

Mobile phone recycling is easy and as well as earning you some money, it's good for the environment too. Find out how to recycle your mobile and turn an old handset you no longer need into cash.

How does mobile phone recycling work?

Our mobile phone recycling service pays you money for your old mobile phone. You can look on our website to see how much we pay for your make and model, then when you send us your old mobile phone to recycle, we send you a cheque - it's as easy as that and you don't even have to pay for the postage!

You can recycle damaged or faulty old mobile phones and get some money for them too, plus we also recycle your old mobile phone accessories like chargers free of charge.

What happens to my old mobile phone after I recycle it?

The mobile phone industry moves fast - hundreds of thousands of old mobile phones are rendered obsolete every year as we upgrade to newer, better models with the latest features. However, old mobile phones aren't useless - mobile phone recycling companies buy people's old mobiles and either reuse or recycle them.

When the mobile phone recycling company gets your old mobile, it is either sent to be reused, refurbished, or it is taken apart and reprocessed so any useful parts and components can be salvaged and used again. This helps to cut the amount of waste going to landfill sites each year and reduces the environmental damage associated with making components for new mobile phones.
