Mobile phones
Mobile phones and their associated accessories can be recycled using the following take back schemes:
Tesco stores give 5 to charity or give you 250 clubcard points and a 2.50 donation to a charity for every phone they receive. Envelopes are available in the stores to post your phone free of charge. The charities to benefit are Alzheimer's, NCH and Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
A nation wide mobile phone take back scheme called Fonebak was launched in September 2002. Visit www.fonebak.com for more information.
Unwanted mobile phone handsets and accessories can be handed directly to over 1200 retail outlets throughout the UK in O2, Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone stores.
Alternatively, you can collect a Freepost envelope from the following stores - Virgin Mobile, V.Shop, Virgin Megastores, Currys, Dixons, The Link, PC World - and send your unwanted handset and accessories to the Fonebak recycling centre.
