Convert your old mobile phone into cash

We have a seemingly inexhaustible appetite for new mobile phones. The high street supplies mobile phone handsets to us all the time - phones that take pictures and videos, play music and a host of other whizzy features you’ll never use.

The problem is they’re having to open whole new landfill sites to swallow the ones we discard. My first tip is … don’t be seduced. Don’t buy a new phone in the first place unless your old mobile is irretrievably dead. But if you must, and you have got old mobiles kicking around in a drawer, you can make money from them - use one of the following companies to convert your mobile phone related device into cash.

The reason envirofone mobile recycling pay so much for old and damaged mobiles is that they recycle the precious metals, and the price of gold and silver is very high at the moment. Apparently Eco-System Recycling in Japan claims they can get 150g of gold from each ton of old mobiles, which is very good considering you only get 5g of gold per ton from ore in a gold mine.

A constant education doing this blog, thanks Lucy. So we can stretch things further and say that it is, if not ecologically sound, then at least ameliorating the environmental damage a little by selling them your old phone. Now if they could just do something with the plastic casing too…
