Recycle old mobile phones

Cash_Q

Hi

I know there used to be a scheme where you could recycle old mobile phones for charities, but I can't find any information about current schemes.

We have 6 phones and an old o2 dongle that would be no good to anyone. Sony Ericsson/Experia/Samsung/Nokia and one iphone4.

Where is the best place to dispose of these?

While I'm at it, does anywhere welcome old laptops either?

Thanks in advance

Any outlet which sells these items have to take them for recycling irrespective of where you bought them so try your local Currys/PC World

Thanks I was hoping they might be of value to some charity or other rather than just dumping them

Jack and Jill stopped doing it as it was no longer worth the effort.

Anyone know where I can do this these days (obviously after the current restrictions have been lifted)?

Similar to the OP I would like to give them to a charity rather than hand them to a store.

I never found anywhere in the end, I actually dont know what I did with the phones. I did recycle a laptop through that Camara group mentioned above
