| The Fairtrade Foundation has entered into partnership with Weee Recycle Mobiles,a company that recycles old mobile phone handsets. For every phone
received, the company makes a minimum donation of £2 to the Foundation
helping us raise more money to help with our work. Weee Recycle Mobiles
is registered with the Environment Agency and adheres to their WEEE
directive (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive). Why should we recycle phones? Mobile
phones are filling UK landfill sites at an alarming rate; currently
around 80% of mobile phone handsets end up in landfill sites where
batteries and other hazardous materials often leach into the soil and
ground water systems. With the majority of people upgrading to a new
handset every 12-18 months many households have several old unused
handsets simply gathering dust. Where do I send my phone? Post your phone and charger (if you have it) to FREEPOST WEEE Recycle Mobiles. Please write 'Fairtrade Foundation' on the reverse of the envelope.
If you would like a freepost envelope sent to you please call 0845 0944734 and quote 'Fairtrade Foundation'.
