If you’ve finally decided to cash in and recycle your old mobile phones, then make sure you choose the best mobile phone recycling company.  There are many out there, and fortunately www.trademymobile.co.uk is a new website dedicated to finding you the best deal.  It not only compares all the best deals, there is also a review section to help you get the best provider.  With over £200 available for some of the top phones such as the Nokia N97 and Apple iphone everyone is a winner. 

Mobile phone recycling is now big business, not only due to the money owners are getting of old mobiles, but also of course the environmental implications.  Without recycling your handsets, many will simply end up in landfill, the majority of mobile phone recycling companies on www.trademymobile.co.uk have signed up to EU regulations meaning that all phones have to be recycling ethically.  Many of the phones will simply end up being re-used, however those older phones are often melted down and recycled in that way.  On average 80% of the individual phone can be recycled but the various mobile phone recycling companies.

The money on offer for your old mobile is obviously important, but make sure you choose a recycling company that has good reviews and offer a speedy service.  A turnaround of three days is often the norm from sending off your phone to getting a valuation.  You should also aim to have the cash in th bank within three days of accepting the mobile phone valuation.  The bigger companies tend to offer a BACS payment service, so if you want to avoid the trip down to the bank then make sure this is offered.  For the more expensive second hand mobile phones, it’s also worthwhile spending an extra few pounds on sending the phone using registered post.  Generally we’ve found the postal service to be very reliable, but for any handset worth more than £20 we would advise you to take this route.

If you’ve ever sold a phone using any of the mobile phone recycling companies featured on www.trademymobile.co.uk then please tell us your thoughts.
