Making Selling Your Old Mobile an Annual Habit
Most mobile phones are only used for a year or two at the most and then they are replaced and this means that more than a hundred million mobile phone handsets are added to Europe’s very own phone ‘mountain’ each year.
Recycling mobile phones through companies like Envirophone and Mazuma, plus others, can significantly reduce this problem. It makes sense too, because each year when you get an upgraded handset from your network supplier, you can simply remove the SIM, delete any personal information from you old phone and look up your phone model on the buyers website to get a price. Then simply request a post paid pack and send you phone away for recycling. You could earn yourself as much as £150 cash for mobile phones depending on the make and model and you will be helping to reduce that phone ‘mountain’.
It is actually illegal to throw your old mobile phone into the dustbin to be collected with the rest of the rubbish and there are around 65 million unused, discarded mobile phones hidden away all over Britain. It’s crazy to throw these away, especially when they could bring in some extra money. The best plan here is to find a deal for your phone via a comparison site on the Internet and sell it. If you wait it will drop in value fast. This should actually be a regular habit so that every time you get an upgraded handset, you sell your old one and get yourself some extra money. That way everyone’s happy and you are doing your bit for the environment too.
