Did you know:

More than 1.1 billion inkjet cartridges are used annually around the world - laid end to end this would be 129 times as long as the Great Wall of China
More than 30 million inkjet cartridges are dumped each year in the UK (1800 tonnes) - the same weight as 18 Blue Whales
The Cadmium in the battery from a single old phone could seriously contaminate 600,000 litres of water, enough to fill a third of an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Cadmium is being phased out of new batteries but we need to make sure we dispose of the old ones safely.
Estimates state that close to 90 million phones are hiding in drawers and cupboards across the UK (11250 tonnes) - these weigh almost six times as much as the London Eye!

Fundraising Project

As part of our ongoing commitment to the environment, the National Trust for Scotland are now giving you the chance to help us raise even more funds by recycling mobile phones, printer cartridges, digital cameras, sat navs, game consoles (Nintendo DS / Sony PSP) and iPods. Please help us raise even more, recycle today!

How it Works

Make sure your device is fully charged (complete with battery) Remove all SIM and memory cards.
Digital cameras, sat navs and game consoles should be returned with their charger. We do not need a charger for any mobile phones returned.
Put your device in your freepost envelope and post it back to us for free, for more expensive items you can arrange a secure collection.
