What happens when you recycle your mobile phone for cash?
There are more opportunities than ever for people to recycle their old mobile phones for quick cash. A quick search on the Internet will turn up dozens of private companies that will send consumers money for their old mobiles.
But what happens to all these old mobile phones when they’re recycled? What exactly are these private recyclers doing with the phones that consumers give them?
The good news is that no matter what these recyclers do with old mobile phones, they are preventing them from ending up in landfills. UK landfills are tight on space. And old electronics, everything from outdated TV sets and computer monitors to unwanted mobile phones, are now accounting for a large percentage of the trash that ends up in these landfills.

And electronics can cause additional problems at these landfills. Many of them leak potentially toxic chemicals, such as cadmium and lead, depending on how old they are, into the soil. This is certainly not an ideal situation for the environment.
The private recycling companies, then, are doing a good deed, each year helping to divert millions of unwanted mobile phones from landfills. According to some research, there are currently some 90 million unwanted and outdated mobile phones in the UK. Many of these will end up in landfills. But others won’t, thanks to the efforts of recycling companies that pay cash for old mobile phones.
Once you turn your phone into one of these companies, several things may happen. If your old mobile phone still works, the recycling company might simply refurbish it and then donate it to a local charity. The recycling company might send it to a developing country or an area school district. Basically, your old mobile phone might go to someone who desperately needs a mobile phone but can’t afford to purchase one.
But what if your old mobile phone no longer works? Can recycling companies still use them? Does it make sense to try to recycle a non-functional mobile phone instead of tossing it in the nearest trash can?
The answer to this is a definite “yes.” Many consumers don’t know this, but about 80 percent of the parts of most mobile phones are fully recyclable. When private recycling companies, then, receive a non-working mobile phone, they’ll simply take it apart and recycle its most important components. Again, this is good news for the environment, as it prevents the non-functional mobile from taking up space in a landfill.
For consumers, the greatest benefit of all this is that recycling mobile phones is an easy way to earn some extra spending money. You won’t get rich by sending in your old mobile phones, but you might receive enough back to treat yourself to a nice dinner or a movie. You might even have enough to purchase that new video game you’ve had your eye on.
Most consumers receive about 50 to 60 pounds in return for working mobile phones, and about 20 to 30 pounds for mobiles that are no longer functioning. That’s not a bad deal, especially when you consider that you’d receive nothing at all if you instead tossed your old mobile into the trash.
Remember all this the next time you decide to upgrade to that new mobile phone that’s just hit the market. And don’t forget to tell your friends, family members and co-workers, too, how easy it is to recycle old mobile phones for cash. The more people who spread the word, the more popular phone recycling will become. And that’s good news not only for the environment, but for anyone in need of a bit of quick pocket change, too.
