introduction to bring bring scheme
From the bring bring online resource
How much do your pupils really know about mobile phones? How can
their old phones be recycled to benefit people and the environment?
Oxfam is asking for unwanted handsets which we then refurbish and
sell, to raise money for people in developing countries. The environment
is also protected by recycling them in this way.
Encourage your pupils to recycle their old phones by organising
a collection in your school.
Organise a mobile phone
collection in your school
 1.
First of all you need to make your collection box. Find a decent-sized
cardboard box.
2. Download the boxside
poster (310K PDF file ) to stick on
the box. Trim the box if necessary, then put your box in a prominent
and secure position where students can leave their donated phones.
(You will need a copy of Adobe's Acrobat software
to read the poster- you can download it for free)
3. Make some posters, or download
a poster (114K PDF file), to advertise
your collection. Put copies up around the school, lettting everyone
know when the collection will start, where they can leave their
phones, and how long the collection will last. We recommend a two
week period.
4. Tell everyone about your collection - friends, parents, colleagues,
the local community.
 5.
Remember to check that the SIM cards are removed from all mobile
phones you collect.
6. When the collection is over, call 0870 752 0999 to arrange
free courier collection of your phones.
7. You will receive a special thank you certificate and confirmation of the amount you have raised for Oxfam.
8. Finally pass on our thanks to everyone who donated their old
phone.
