Recycle Your Mobile Phone For Cash Online

July 24, 2009 - PRLog -- Recycle your mobile phone online for cash.

Nearly everyone has a mobile phone. It is reported that at least 1000 new mobile phones are purchased everyday in the UK alone. Unfortunately most of these phones are obsolete after a year or so as new versions come out with better more advanced features. So what happens then is that the old handset often ends up chucked in a drawer somewhere never to be seen a long time again. Sadly some of these are actually thrown in the rubbish only to end up in landfill sites where they don't break down biodegrading and just sit there in the ground for centuries. Mobile phones contain precious and harmful metals such as cadmium which can have a devestating effect on ecological systems and seep out into water systems contaminating the water supplies.

So never ever throw mobile phones in the trash! At the least take it into your local charity shop who will probably have some sort of arrangement with a recycling company who collect it and recycle it through various stages. The other options of course are to sell your phone. You can sell it online using an auction site such as eBay. Obviously with that are involved listing it. Paying the eBay listing fees and of course actually having to trundle down the post office to ensure it is sent off to the winning buyer/bidder.

You could also sell it to a friend or family member or someone that needs or wants to purchase a mobile phone and can't afford to purchase a brand new one or can't simply get a contract phone. This might make sense for you because you are not using the phone anymore and you get some money back for it that you have put into owning it. It gives it a new lease of life. Someone else gets a new phone and you get a bit of cash back for it.

The other option (and one which is the most easiest and economical) is to sell your phone to a mobile phone recycling website. A mobile phone recycling website will purchase the phone from you for a certain amount, sending you payment for the phone within a matter of days. This makes selling it much faster than selling it on eBay. And a lot less complicated as well. Also you'd pay no listing fees and no sending fees either. You may not get as much for it as you might selling it on eBay etc but once you take into account all the fees associated with doing that compared to selling it for free to a recycling service it can work out the same anyway.

There are many many people who do this on a daily basis. Some of the recycling websites receive hundreds of phones everyday. They pay out for each of them providing it is in a good condition. There are many of these mobile phone recycling websites around as well. Some pay more than others. Some have different ways they pay you and different benefits that others don't. To find out for yourself would mean visiting each site and seeing how much they are offering for your make and model of phone. That can be very time consuming and frustrating for some people who simply don't have the time to do the research.

That is why SellYourMobile site was started so that people could see all of this information in once place. The top recycling websites that people use reviewed and the details of each laid out in a simple to understand manner. That way you can make an informed choice on which one is best for you!

Don't throw your old and unwanted mobile phone away! Sell it to a mobile phone recycling service and get cash back for it at the same time as helping the environment.
