Blog Action Day: Recycle your old mobiles
on Oct 15
On Blog Action Day, thousands of bloggers are writing about the environment. One issue. One day. Thousands of voices.
Why not take action today and do one thing to help the environment and clear up that odds and sods drawer you’ve been meaning to empty since the last Spring cleaning?
If you’re in the UK, find a padded envelope, write “FREEPOST Fonebak” on it, stick it in the post and feel that halo shining above your head for your good deed of the day. £5 will be donated to BBC Children in Need for every reusable mobile phone received and the rest will be sent for recycling to ensure that nothing ends up in landfill.
If you’re anywhere else in the world, look for a mobile phone recycling service nearby.
