Since its 2003 launch by the Eazyfone Group, Fones4Schools’ cash and prize mobile
phone recycling scheme has handed out over £450,000 to schools and pupil participants.

The Fones4Schools campaign claims to be “the only one of its kind that gives prizes
to every participant as well as cash donations to schools.”

Fones4Schools asks schools and their pupils to collect as many redundant mobile 
telephones, of any condition, as they can. In return the school receives a £300 
cash donation for every 200 phones collected, and individual participants receive
a prize, from DVD’s and video games to widescreen TV’s.

In addition Fones4Schools gives participants access to key stage National Curriculum
environmental worksheets, and information on recycling and the environment.
