How it works

The first part of any recycling process is reuse. At Cash4Phone.co.uk our main aim is to stop mobile phones ending up in landfill sites and causing damage to the environment, so we will wherever possible, try to ensure your old mobile phone is re-used.

There are estimated to be 125 million redundant mobile phones sitting in desk drawers and attics and we aim to recycle them.

When we receive a mobile our first step is to test its operation and price it accordingly. We then decide which can be re-used, or which needs stripping down and its components recycled and once complete we will then send your cheque. Working or refurbished phones are placed in our stock room and prepared for sale.

Mobile phones which are not suitable for reuse are sent to be reprocessed. The reprocessor recovers any valuable components such as flash memory, plastics and metals. Any remaining component materials are smelted for energy recovery.

We're very pleased that the majority of the mobile phones that we receive are re-used as this can make a significant contribution to managing the demand for precious minerals such as coltan which is sourced from the deep forests of the Congo in central Africa. The Congo's mining business has in recent years led to a dramatic reduction of animal habitat, specifically the world's endangered lowland gorillas and reuse and recycling can help to reduce the demand for new raw materials.
