Counting on … day 382

18th November 2022 

Recycling old mobile phones. If you are up-grading your phone, the supplier will normally take your old phone – and even pay you some small sum. Otherwise you can recycle your old mobile phone at any Oxfam shop and any profit will support their work: https://www.oxfam.org.uk/donate/more-ways-to-donate/recycle-with-us/

If you are replacing or upgrading your phone you could still opt to buy second hand thereby extending the useful life of the ‘new’ phone and so reduce its adverse impact on the environment.  I use Magic Magpie but there are other companies too.
