Clearing out a room is a scary task; it means sorting through cupboards and drawers that you would rather not look in to.

Thankfully there were not too many frightening things lurking at the back of shelves heading for landfill, but we did find a couple of museum-worthy mobile phones.

Our ‘new room’ requires not just a change of use, but some major work; we need to raise the floor, put in underfloor heating or an air to air heat pump and replace the back door and window - not the cheapest of weekend projects!

So I’ve started my ‘change of room use’ fund. I decided to gather my resources and see what I could do to raise some cash.

So far I’ve shifted a load of books on Amazon and whilst browsing the internet, came upon “Sell My Mobile“. This was just what I was looking for.
With time of the essence, I really didn’t have time to find the best price for our old mobiles. Sell My Mobile does all the work for you with its independent and impartial mobile phone recycling price comparison. They compare ALL of the UK’s leading mobile phone buyers so you can get you the most money for your old mobile just by visiting one site.

They price check all makes and models on a daily basis, so you know you will get the best and most up-to-date price! And using the site couldn’t be easier. You simply enter the make and model of your phone and get a list of merchants who will buy your phone. Click on the best price and tell them how you want to receive your payment - easy peasy.

Worldwide, 1.3 billion people own a mobile phone; most of which end up in the landfill. It is estimated that less than 4% of all unused mobile phones in the UK are currently recycled and that millions of phones are hiding in drawers and cupboards across the UK.

With everyone trying to make the pennies stretch a little further this time of year, why not have a scout through your drawers and cupboards and see if you have any old mobile phones needing to be recycled?

Most of the merchants listed on http://www.comparemobilephonerecycling.co.uk even pay out for broken phones, so don’t let an old dinosaur stop you keeping your goods from landfill and making yourself some money in the process!
