If there is one thing that readers of this site are likely to have lying around their homes it is old mobile phones and PDAs. I am sitting next to a drawer full of dead Windows Mobile devices (plus a couple I wish were dead) and I’m sure there are a couple of retired Palms somewhere near my desk.
As part of the BBC Children in Need appeal (yes, yes it has come around again quite soon - it always does) Regeneris are collecting unwanted Mobiles, PDAs and MP3 players that they promise to turn into cash they will then donate to the Beeb’s appeal.
£80 will be donated for working handsets with a 5 megapixel camera. If the handset is not working, the donation will be reduced to £20.
£20 will be donated for working handsets with a 3 megapixel camera. If the handset is not working, the donation will be reduced to £5.
£4 will be donated for working handsets with a basic camera or no camera. If the handset is not working, the device will be safely recycled.
It’s a triple-whammy, really - help a worthy charity, help the environment by recycling your gizmos and help clean up your house.
Mobile recycling company Fonebak is doing its bit for this year’s BBC Children In Need charity drive, but donating £5 for every reusable phone sent in by mobile users.
