Envirofone is the UK's first mobile phone trading platform that pays the general public to recycle their old mobile phones for cash.
Users are simply asked to look up their old mobile phone on their site, see how much it is worth - and then trade it in. Once they have done the trade envirofone sends them a welcome pack that includes a freepost envelope. Once the phone is received they are tested and if they meet the terms and conditions users are paid cash.
There are over 80 million old mobile phones lying around in drawers and cupboards and many are thrown away when they could be worth up to £100. Launched in March 2006, envirofone has now paid out over £2.6 million to users. You can visit their site and check out the value of any old phone you might have here.
