Not only will your participation in the (Name of your charity or group here)’s Recycling Appeal raise the organisation much needed funds, recycling allows you to make a positive impact on the environment.  

Rob Morton of the Recycling Appeal says:

“Throwing away old mobile phones and used printer cartridges sends them to landfill sites where they become part of our nation’s growing waste problem.  The vast majority of mobile phones contain toxic substances, which can leak into the surrounding soil and pollute it, and printer cartridges take hundreds of years to biodegrade.   Why not use these products for something good?  Send them to the (Name of your charity or group here) Recycling Appeal and they will be refurbished and re-used. Some of the mobile phones even end up in developing countries where little or no landline infrastructure exists meaning your old mobile could provide a lifeline for someone.”  

So put your old mobile phones, inkjet and toner printer cartridges to one side.  The Recycling Appeal provides free collections if you have more than ten items, and freepost envelopes if you have less.
