You can turn old mobile phones and printer cartridges into cash to help special babies!
Of course you’ll be helping the environment too.
In conjunction with recyclers we’re recycling phones and cartridges to raise funds.
If you have mobiles (please include the charger and battery) and/or cartridges to recycle, please send them to the Supporter Relations Department, BDF Newlife, BDF Centre, Hemlock Way, Cannock Staffs WS11 7GF. Or please call or email further information.
We can provide a Freepost envelope for cartridges.
If you'd like to organise a collection point for your place of work, we can also provide you with posters and carton labels.
Did you know?
Around 10 million people changed their mobile in 2002, yet fewer than 5% were recycled.
Mobile phones contain cadmium, a dangerous toxic substance. Binned mobile phones end up on landfill, where corrosion to their batteries causes cadmium to leach out onto the surrounding soil.
It takes more than 1.5 pints of oil to make a new toner cartridge.
It's estimated that over the last decade printer cartridges worth around £5,000,000,000,000 were dumped in landfill sites. They could have been recycled.
