Mobile Phones: Mobile Phone Recycling Service Launched by Orange

Nov. 6, 2009 - PRLog -- With many online companies now providing an environmentally friendly mobile phone recycling service, Orange has moved to keep up with the times with its latest ‘recycle and reward’ scheme available within all Orange stores and is open to all members of the public, not just Orange customers. The recycling scheme is not only targeted towards mobile phones, it is offering to trade old laptops and personal music players for cold hard cash.

Statistics heard coming out of Orange suggest that two thirds of the British public have old mobile phones stored away at home gathering dust. Little do they know that this staggering figure of over 90 million unused handsets equates to a value of around £450 million.

The basic premise of mobile phone recycling is to refurbish mobile phone devices back into usable condition. Whenever possible, companies are grading handsets from ones that are available for use straight away to ones that are not suitable for reuse and need to be fully recycled. Much of the money recouped from this service is invested in improving environmental credentials, carbon footprints and projects to reduce carbon emissions.

There are ways and means of protecting your mobile phones to prolong its aesthetic qualities as well as its in-built features. While a high percentage of mobile phone users own mobile phone accessories (http://www.foneshop.com) of some nature, many do not realise the depth of products on the market today. Mobile phone cases (http://www.foneshop.com/cases) and pouches offer great protection for your mobile phone from everyday knocks, scratches and bumps that can ruin the aesthetics of your much-vaunted handset.

Many mobile phone consumers often write off their device if its screen develops a significant crack or scratch. However, replacement mobile phone screens (http://www.foneshop.com/screens) can be purchased and fitted quickly and easily, saving you the cost of a completely new phone. Take all options into consideration before the final resort of a trading recycling scheme.
