Recycled old mobile phones to help DEC tsunami appeal
Howard Lake | 10 January 2005 | News
Recycling company Eurosource has set up an appeal to raise funds for the Disasters Emergency Committee’s Tsunami Earthquake Appeal by recycling old mobile phones and printer cartridges.
Eurosource, which specialises in running charity recycling appeals, will swap old mobiles and printer cartridges for cash which will go straight to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC).
Eurosource has raised almost £1.5 million since it launched in 1999. Its charity partners include Marie Curie Cancer Care, the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation and the Royal National Institute of the Blind.

Different mobiles and cartridges are worth different sums of money depending on various factors, like model, age and condition. Eurosource’s website explains which mobiles and cartridges can be recycled, and how much will be given to the DEC for each one.
Donated items can be sent to Eurosource in a freepost bag, available by calling Eurosource.
