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.

Further details are available from the website.
