Mobile phone recycling

[Langers]

Ive used envirfone before and they are very good, just send them your phones and they will value them for you. Its good if you have a broken phone as you wouldnt be able to sell it on.

I'd like to know how they make their money and exactly what their business model is. I presume they're being resold through a second hand site they own, or possibly eBay or something.

I'm pretty sick of the not particularly believable, de rigeur, environmentalism banded about by business as some sort of usp, when it benefits the environment less than it benefits their bottom line.

Yeah, they certainly aint going to Uganda

[Samdy Gray]

They sell them abroad.

I've only ever had one mobile phone...the coltan essential to its function is mainly found in the Congo, and has led to the deforestation of the habit of the mountain gorilla.

Proceeds from its mining have also helped fund the genocides in Rwanda and Burundi....

If more people stuck with this policy...the world would be a much better place for News Monkey and the African pygmies....think about it next time you're acquiring a phone you don't actually need...

But how will vacuous teens update their Twatter status to tell us what they're having for lunch if they don't keep upgrading their phones every two minutes?

Go to moneysavingexpert.com and go to mobile recycling.

Type in your make and model and it gives you a list of what recycling companies will pay you what. I sold my Nokia N95 for £90 and it was quick and easy

This thread reads like one of the fucking adverts on the telly...  Do you all work for Envirophone or something?
