In London, Nokia UK Managing Director, Simon Ainslie said
that it would be inviting mobile phone users to recycle handsets at its
flagship Regents Street store. "Having seen the results of our global
survey, we wanted to help the UK public do even more when it comes to
recycling mobile phones. From today, anyone can come along to our
London store and hand in their old handsets, whatever the make, and
we’ll recycle it for them."
Nokia has collection points for unwanted mobile
devices in 85 countries around the world, the largest voluntary scheme
in the mobile industry. People can find their nearest take back point
at the
werecyle website.
Alternatively, a quick Google will reveal numerous options for
recycling handsets. Many charities offer this service, and even major
supermarkets will supply recycling bags and some have incentives such
as 'loyalty points' and money off vouchers for every phone recycled in
this way.
