Money From Old Mobile Phone

Money From Old Mobile Phone

Every year in Britain, we throw away 5.25 million mobile phones. This is utter madness. I realise that recycling can seem a bit of a chore at times – but unlike your cans and newspapers, you can make a handy bit of extra cash from your old handset.

For example, if I sold my Nokia 5800 to one of the mobile phone recycling firms, I could earn £100. Even a very old handset such as a Nokia 6230 could still sell for £11 – not bad considering that you are getting paid to get rid of something you don't want anyway, in an environmentally responsible manner.
