Over the last year there has been increased focus on the recycling of small electronic devices. A study showed that there were over ninety million used mobile phones in the United Kingdom alone and many of these will be disposed of in an improper manner. With Christmas just a month behind many people are now wondering what to do with the old electronic devices which were replaced during the holiday season with the newest and latest technology. iPod users are particularly guilty of this, as it seems every day Apple releases some new twist that everyone must have. Every time iPod puts out a new color all of the lemmings flock to buy it, which means that there are literally millions of perfectly good iPods which are not being used.
Mopay.co.uk has decided to try and take advantage of the massive amounts of iPods which are replaced by fashion conscious music lovers. They will accept any model of iPod for recycling, going back all the way to the original models all the way to the newest version of the iTouch. Both working and non-working iPods will be accepted and customers can expect to receive up to sixty pounds worth of cash or vouchers from turning in their used iPod. As technology continues to develop at a break neck speed, it is likely that more companies will start to recycle iPods. One of the major issues with small electronics is that their batteries contain dangerous chemicals which can leak into landfills and eventually contaminate water supplies.
