Boosting public awareness

The majority of people still simply toss their telephone away or even leave them sitting around in draws. We have been engaging in what we can to improve the understanding of sensible mobile disposal and also recycling nonetheless its proving difficult.

Mazuma's Tv advertising campaign giving hard cash in exchange for broken mobile phones went a long way towards raising awareness of mobile recycling we noticed an increase in the volume of searches performed relating to portable recycling at about the time these launched, however, spreading the word is hard.

Due to the current financial state everyone is aiming to make savings and, as opposed to 6-7 yrs ago where everyone was happy to spend a tad bit more for environment friendly alternatives or to go organic this is among the first areas people are able to make savings.

We're hoping that the logic behind cutbacks on organic spending and recycled options may be employed backwards to the mobile phone handset industry.

The quantity of online queries for cellphone recycling and the terms associated with this are relatively low, however, the amount of people seeking information on selling their mobile or ways to get money for mobiles is on the up.

By way of targeting those people who are seeking to get cash for an old phone and making these folks conscious of the issues around mobile phone disposal while also highlighting that they'll cash in whenever they opt to go down this road we hope to really increase the public awareness of mobile phone recycling.

Not all of the companies offering cash for mobiles dispose of them as responsibly as others, some may find their way into landfills and others might could end up in the developing world been sold as premium handsets. While this is not strictly illegal its definitely immoral and goes against the spirit of recycling a phone, some people will not mind as long as they get as much as they can for the phone whereas others would be genuinely upset in this knowledge. For the people simply seeking a high price for their mobile we may be able to change their mind/outlooks on this type of thing by attempting to educate them on genuine recycling issues and benefits and this website, over the coming months, will attempt to do this.

At the moment the recyclemobile.org website is in its infancy and admittedly the content is not as finely polished as is will be in a few months time as we hope to encourage some authoritative guest posts and to attract some genuine interest from within the industry.
