ActionAid Recycling, a fundraising organisation for the international development agency ActionAid, is launching its 2006 Mobile Phone Amnesty.

By collecting old, unwanted mobile phones and PDAs (as well as empty toner and inkjet cartridges) ActionAid Recycling sell these waste products to the recycling and remanufacturing industries. Last year, 75% of the business profits from these sales went to support ActionAid.

As a special incentive for the months of June and July 2006, recycling old mobiles and PDAs with ActionAid Recycling can win one of several prizes including a free weekend stay at a 4 star hotel.
