Why recycle with us
-
Because everyone deserves life’s little luxuries. Clean water. Food. Education for their children…
Oxfam works with some of the poorest families and communities in the world – to help them get this sort of thing.
Recycling unwanted mobile phones is a quick, easy, environment friendly way for you to help us make this happen.
What happens next?
-
Mobile phones get a thorough going over. If they can be refurbished, they’ll be repackaged and put to good re-use.
Obsoletes and duds are passed on to specialist recyclers. These guys are environment friendly and responsible. They dismantle every part safely – including every bit from the battery – for re-use in industry.
Inkjet cartridges are turned into… inkjet cartridges!
