Many old mobile phones end up in landfill sites, not only is this a waste of valuable components that could have been put to use, but mobiles contain dangerous substances which will eventually leach into the land and air.
Oxfam can turn unwanted mobile phones and their accessories into money to support work with people all over the world. Your old mobile can have a new life, full of meaning and purpose. On average, each working donated handset is worth £5 to Oxfam - but some are worth much more.

If you have 10 or more unwanted phones call frephone 0800 083 2103 to arrange a free courier

CRUMP asks you to place the donated phones into a box (or strong envelope) with enough padding to prevent damage during transit and if you become a regular donor they provide occasional updates on the value of your donations and help you promote the scheme.
Phones with batteries and chargers are most valuable
