Recycling an unwanted mobile phone via Envirophone is very easy. The company works to cut down the number of old mobile phones that end up in landfill sites.
The first step is to locate the phone on the website and see how much it is worth. If your phone is damaged you can still sell it, but you will receive a reduced price for it. Simply fill in your details and you will receive a post-paid pack to send you phone in, so there is no postage charge.
Boxes, batteries and other mobile phone accessories can be returned along with the phone and this is actively encouraged, but sending these items with the phone will not increase the sale price.
When the padded envelope arrives, remove your SIM card, delete any personal information such as pictures, music and games, put the phone inside the envelope and attach the pre paid label. It might be a good idea to have a more expensive phone sent special delivery so that you are protected if it is lost or damaged.
Once Envirophone receive the phone it will be tested to make sure that it meets their requirements. If the phone is damaged the price offered will be reduced accordingly, but you will be notified of this first. Payments are made direct to a bank account.
Envirophone supports a system called CheckMEND, which is a database that can track stolen mobile phones. If such phones are received they are automatically destroyed unless their ownership can be proved.
