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.
