Old mobile phones to help Tsunami plight

Recycling specialist, Eurosource Europe, has decided to hook up with Tsunami fund raising co-ordinators, the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), to encourage people to donate their old mobile phones, reports The Inquirer.

"Unlike other such schemes, you can gauge exactly how much your old phone is worth by going onto the recycling appeal's Web site. For example, an old Ericsson T68 would be worth £4.

You can go online and request an envelope from them. Pope the handset inside it and you don't even have to pay the postage. The scheme appears to cover three countries – the UK, France and Eire.

if you don't have an old phone, they'll also take any old printer".
