Royal Mail offers mobile phone recycling service online

Mobile phone recycling is continuing to grow in popularity. As mobile phone manufactures and service providers continue to plug the importance of mobile recycling, more and more internet sites are popping up to help consumers get the best deal for their old mobile handsets.

Simply Drop mobile recycling, a web-based service offered by the Royal Mail, is a quickly emerging as a leading web price comparator. Despite not offering the highest price always, the site offers competitive fees alongside top phone manufacturers.

Offers on the site at present include £22.88 for the Nokia 3250, or £14.08  for the LG Prada KE850. Simply Drop offers several different types of payment methods. These include direct cash, which can be picked up at any local Post Office, payment through PayPal, or the option to donate to numerous charities.

The web service also accepts MP3 players, inkjet cartridges, and cameras for recycling as well. Inkjet cartridges are simply a trade-in, however, where no payment is offered. Simply Drop sends all users a prepaid eco-friendly envelope through which to mail in your old mobile handset. Each envelope can hold up to four electrical items to make multiple trade-ins possible at one time.

Visit the Royal Mail sponsored service’s website for more information and to request prices and envelopes. Recycling mobile handsets is being touted by environmentalists as an important way to cut down on harmful greenhouse gases.
