Mobile phonesYOUR OLD MOBILE contains platinum, gold, silver and copper - which means charities want to get their hands on it, whatever its condition. Donating your phone also stops toxic nickel-cadmium batteries finding their way into landfill sites - another big plus.Lots of charities recycle old phones. They usually accept them with or without charger and battery, but remember to take out your SIM card first. Each handset typically earns £5 or more for the charity. It’s not just conventional recycling – Fonesforsafety turns used mobile phones into reconfigured “999 only” phone alarms for victims of domestic violence. Alternatively, if you’d rather make some cash yourself, try mopay.co.uk – you get the money and a designated charity gets an additional 10% donation.
