Age Concern Recycling Scheme

Every year millions of used printer, fax, photocopier cartridges and even mobile phones are thrown away. All of these can be recycled with the added bonus of having financial value.
 
  • 30 million printer cartridges are disposed of each year
  • which contribute to the 300,000 tonnes of non-biodegradable solid waste in landfill sites every year
  • 45 million mobile phone handsets are estimated to be unused in Britain
  • the average consumer replaces their mobile phone every 18 months
  • 15 million mobile phones are upgraded annually which equates to 1500 tonnes of potential landfill every year

How you can make a difference through recycling

Recycling makes sense and it couldn’t be easier! All you need to do is join Age Concern’s recycling scheme and start sending us your old inkjet, photocopier, fax, laser jet cartridges and mobile phones. We will then turn those goods into much needed funds! Money raised will help fund vital services for older people living in the community. Support such as information and advice services, Help in the Home, Nail Cutting, ensuring that older people continue to live an independent life. The other fantastic advantage of this scheme is that you’ll be helping to reduce the damage waste does to our world and environment also.

Methods of recycling
 
  • By Envelope, we’ll send you some special freepost envelope which we will provide for you.
  • By Recycling Box Ideal for offices! We’ll send you a box (25 x 21.5 x 17 inches).
