We are asking you to send us your old mobile phones, PDA's and used printer cartridges in envelopes provided. By recycling these items, they are diverted from landfill avoiding the associated environmental problems.

The appeal is run in conjunction with recycling experts Redeem Plc who will give a cash sum for every reusable handset and cartridge returned. Supporting the appeal not only allows the public to raise funds for a worthy cause but also means they play an important role in protecting their environment. Handsets and cartridges can take years to biodegrade - a single printer cartridge takes up to 1000 years to decompose. Mobiles, PDA's and cartridges contain toxic substances which can leak into surrounding soil causing pollution.

We will be sending these envelopes out to our private and corporate contacts.

For envelopes and boxes to place your old mobile phones, PDA's and used printer cartridges please email the fundraising department
