Vodafone tells you where to shove your old mobile
Vodafone research shows that only a third of people in the UK has ever recycled their mobile phone, even though four out of five of us know that it is possible. Urk. This statistic sounds even worse when you consider that 15 million mobiles become redundant each year.
Vodafone is making it easier for you to do the right thing with instore recycling banks and Freepost mailing envelopes (sent to contract customers when they upgrade).
Donating your phone raises money for Vodafone's chosen charity - the National Autism Society, and the phones are sent to Fonebak for recycling. If at all possible, they are refurbished for use in underdeveloped countries (mobiles are very handy where there is no landline infrastructure).
