    Wow thanks!

    I've just received £28 worth of Boots Advantage Card points for recycling my old Nokia which I was about to throw away. I went to their website (www.boots.com/recycle) and they sent me a freepost envelope so that I could send my phone to them.

    It was dead easy so thanks for the recommendation! Now I've got all my points to spend before I go on holiday next month. Can't wait!

    how does this offer compare to the various 'cash for phones' recycling sites?
    Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..
    Sometimes seen lurking on the compers forum :-)

    There's a great article http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/phones/mobile-recycling
    I'm leaning towards tesco for my old phone - they give 300 clubcard points and a gift card - was worth more to me than Boots offered

    Hi, Just checked out the advantage card machine and got a promo code when recycling a mobile, Enter "kiosk1" in the promo box for an additional 100 advantage card points!
    nice extra bonus.

    This is a brilliant find, thank you! I was just about to send my old ink cartridge back to Dell to be recycled, but for no thanks or incentive other than being a bit greener, now I can be green and have Boots points too! :T
    If I had a pound for every...... oh sod it, if I just had a pound I'd be richer!
