Turn Trash Into Cash!
Our recycling scheme collects old mobile phones and printer cartridges.
For every mobile phone we receive, KidsOut is rewarded with £3.50. And for every printer cartridge, we get £1.
Each year around 20 million used printer cartridges are thrown away in the UK, as well as a similar number of mobile phones.
The impact on the environment from these items being put into a landfill sight is enormous as they can leak toxic chemicals into the earth, as well as taking up millions of cubic feet of space.
In addition to this, did you know that it takes up to eight pints of oil to make just one printer cartridge and up to 1,000 years to decompose? By recycling, it not only significantly reduces the impact on the environment, but helps raise money for Kidsout.
By giving us your old mobile phones and cartridges, we can quite literally turn trash into cash to help support our work for disadvantaged children.
You can either send your mobile phones or cartridges directly to KidsOut’s head office at 14 Church Square, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, LU7 1AE or to obtain a quantity of recycling envelopes, contact us on 01525 243222 or e-mail trash4cash@kidsout.org.uk
