Philip624

Got any old mobile phones lying around. Tesco will give Clubcard holders 300 points (£3) for each working one you recylce, 150 points for broken ones. Hurry as this offer ends at the end of February. Collect the special envelope to post it off in from customer services. Tesco will also donate £1 to charity for each phone recycled so everyones a winner.

All nominations for money saving/gaining post of the month gratefully received!

Good spot!

Many stores do this now, Sainsbury, Asda, The Body Shop. You can also donate them directly to lots of charities, eg. Help the Aged, NSPCC. I work for Fonebak which is the largest mobile phone recycling company in the UK. If you donate your moby (working or not) to one of the above, charities will get a guaranteed minumum of £5 per phone.

Ok, you dont actually get anything for yourself by donating them straight to charities, but it makes you feel good inside :0)

Does anyone know whether you need to include the charger or just the phone?

I would imagine just the phone as that is what will be totally recycled. But if you are just going to throw the charger away then include that too if you can.

not a bad post if you will never need an old phone. My kids are asking for a mobile but have resisted so far. I have a plan when they suggest it as a just in case i`ll suggest an old battered one to see what they say
