Six simple steps to getting your phones into phatphones for recycling.

Please visit Mobile phone recycle depot and see why it is important that we all do our bit.

1. Gather as many redundant mobile phones together as you can. Check in draws, cupboards and anywhere else you can think of. They can be working or non working, looking new or broken, faulty or damaged.

2. Gather 8 phones or more together and will arrange a FREE pick up. That's correct, we offer a free collection service for 8 handsets or more. Any less than 8 phones can be sent into us for assessment and valuation.

3. Allow 48 hours for the team to assess the value/worth of the (BER) beyond economical repair phones and we will get back to you with a quote.

4. Based on the recovery value of the phones, the price we can offer you will vary. Although not all phones have a recoverable value, we will still always recycle them

Some clients use this as a way of generating an extra source of income for themselves as they gather phones together on a regular basis. Whilst many others choose to donate the buy back phone scheme money back into our charity funds. The choice is yours but as always, charity raising  is hard at the best of times so this is a great chance to donate back to charity in a way that does not effect your pocket directly.

5. We then categorise the phones into groups. Working/non working, salvageable or not. Once we have a box of phones that are tested working and factory reset, they are sent to be used in less fortunate developing countries and they are very grateful for projects like this. Non salvageable phones are recycled.

6. The transaction is complete and the benefit is felt as the phone is disposed of responsibly and recycled without the use of landfill sites.

Postage will have to be paid if an agreed price is not met.

We do not offer anything for batteries, chargers and accessories but we can recycle them safely for you free of charge when sending phones in.

Since finding Phatphones, they have collected 10 or so phones a week from us and we feel better for it too. - Post Office

Satisfied that Phatphones recycle phones in the best possible way, I collect phones from locals and have them collected when I get 8-10 :)
