Simply Drop® is a new service from Royal Mail that allows consumers to recycle unwanted mobile phones,mp3 players and digital cameras and get cash for themselves, or for a charity of their choice.
Only 11% of the UK population resells or recycles their mobile phones (source: TNS Omnibus 2008). Even fewer recycle cameras and MP3 players. Each year in the UK, 20 million phones are tossed into landfill and will take more than 1,000 years to break down (www.wasteonline.org.uk). Or they are sitting in drawers doing nothing.
It's simple.
Only three simple steps to Simply Drop™ your technology and inkjet cartridges.
It's free.
Prepaid envelopes mean we pay the postage.
It's reliable.
We work with several of our trusted partners, including the Greater London Authority Recycle for London team, and the Met Police National Mobile Phone Crime Unit - and also work with several well-established recycling organizations.

Thanks for raising aweareness through your blog. Unfortunately facts like these aren't really in the public domain yet. Although I think the 11% is much higher now in 2010 I still don't believe enough consumers Recycle Mobile Phones. I recently recycled my old LG phone with the help of Recycle Mobile Phones who provided me with a list of companies and their prices who would recycle my exact make and model.
Thanks for raising awareness, absolutely i too agree with you,through your blog. Unfortunately facts like these aren't really in the public domain yet.
recycle mobile phones is a good option. I recently I visited one site where I sold my old mobile phone.They Provides a simple yet comprehensively managed solution for the disposal of new, end-of-line, surplus or used mobile phones for cash. I think in this way we can help in preventing our environment from toxins, which comes out of electronic goods
