Old mobiles 'dumped' at Christmas
Three quarters of a million old mobiles will have been discarded or dumped since Christmas, according to a survey, reports the BBC. Some organizations are doing someting about it by turning to recycling programs, as dumped mobiles can harm the environment. "The Body Shop has teamed up with recycling firm Greener Solutions to encourage people to hand in their old phones so that they can be recycled for charity. From 5 January, those with a new mobile will be able to take their old ones into The Body Shop for collection to be recycled or reconditioned, and even reused in developing countries. Each phone handed in will raise £2.75 for the domestic violence charity Refuge, as part of their nationwide «Help Stop Domestic Violence» campaign".
