Comic Relief raises funds from mobile phone recycling
Howard Lake | 5 March 2006 | News
Comic Relief has partnered with recycling company Eurosource to generate funds from donated mobile phones and inkjet printer cartridges in a six-week campaign.
Eurosource reports that it has already raised almost £1.5 million for major charities through recyling donated items.
Different mobiles and cartridges are worth different sums of money depending on factors such as model and age. Eurosource’s Comic Relief website details which mobiles and inkjet cartridges can be recycled, and exactly how much will be given to Comic Relief for each one.

Mobiles and cartridges must be posted by April 15 to allow time for the donations to be processed and the proceeds to be sent to Comic Relief.
