Many corporations throughout the UK are beginning to realise the benefits in mobile phone recycling.

There is a huge excess of mobile phones out there, as many companies opt to give their employees handsets – resulting in an estimated 3 million mobile phones given out every year. Many corporations are launching schemes to combat the inevitable impact on the environment that this may cause by making recycling easier, through setting up phone recycling drives in lobbies, and working directly with sites such as Compare and Recycle online.

Today, it is more crucial than ever to be environmentally friendly. With many customers, advertisers, sponsors and partners preferring to work with companies that have ‘gone green’, businesses are realising that doing the responsible thing and recycling old mobile phones not only sets a good example but also builds a reputation and proves that they are eco-friendly.

To find a mobile phone recycler (or for that matter any other electronic product, such as laptops and digital cameras) that’s reliable and eco-friendly, sites like Compare and Recycle lay out a chart of over two dozen companies that will recycle hundreds of mobile models. On the site, customers can locate information about each of the UK based recyclers, along with customer reviews and details on pricing and shipping methods to fully compare phone recyclers.

Popular models among business professionals, like the Blackberry 1800 can earn up to £90 in return. Recently, Compare and Recycle have even set up a Facebook page where customers can get quotes for their used mobile phones within seconds and sell them on the spot.
