A new mobile phone is the ultimate status symbol. The newest handsets with the latest features are extremely desirable. However, with new mobile phone models emerging every day, upgrading your phone every time a new handset emerges can become very expensive. But there is a quick and easy way of earning some money to pay for your phone upgrade – recycling your old mobile.

Mobile phone recycling companies, like Mazuma, will pay you cash when you send them your old mobile to be recycled. This is because mobile phone handsets contain many valuable parts, like old batteries, copper, silver, gold and plastic. These parts can be recycled, and made into a variety of other items. Simply send them your phone in the supplied freepost envelope, and they will send you the cash on the day they receive it. This is not only a great way of making some extra cash, If you’re someone who likes to upgrade your phone on a regular basis, it can be reassuring to know that all those old handsets can earn you money.

By recycling your old mobile, you could make considerable amounts of money. For example, you may have a Blackberry Storm and you may wish to upgrade to the latest Blackberry Torch. If you sell Blackberry Storm to Mazuma, you could earn up to £40; a significant amount towards the cost of your new Torch. Upgrading your phone needn’t eat into your pocket anymore!
