How to recycle your mobile phone to raise money

The Eden Project has teamed up with Corporate Mobile Recycling (CMR) to launch the Mobiles for Mud campaign. It’s a really simple scheme that converts unwanted mobiles into donations and also helps prevent mobile phones going to landfill. For every mobile phone recycled the Eden Project receives the second-hand value of your phone to help support our vital educational programme Mud Between Your Toes.

Why recycle your mobile phone?

Latest figures suggest that in the UK the total number of unwanted mobiles lying about exceeds 25 million. To put this figure into perspective, if you put all 25 million unwanted phones end to end, they would stretch from John O'Groats to Lands End and back again. That’s a lot of phones!

How to donate your mobile phone

If you have less than 20 phones then simply send them in a jiffy bag, FREEPOST, to:

• Mobiles for Mud
• Freepost
• LON16281
• London
• WC1N
• 3BR
• Or if you would like to request a FREEPOST recycling envelope please phone 01726 8187352. If you're donating more than 20 phones, please call 0870 752 0999 to arrange a free courier collection. Thank you, your support will make a real difference.
