What is a ‘broken’ mobile phone?
We consider a phone broken if it has any of the following faults:
Doesn't power on
Cracked screen
Excess scratches, dents or chips
Broken microphone or speakers
Faulty buttons & keys
Broken or missing battery
Broken SIM gate
Corrupt operating system
While we buy most phones, there are a few handsets we can’t buy. These include phones that are snapped in half completely, reported lost or stolen, barred by a network, blacklisted by CheckMEND or identified as counterfeit.
Why should I recycle my broken phone?
Throwing your phone away is bad for the environment, with one mobile phone battery estimated to contain enough chemicals to pollute 60,000 litres of water!
Predictions suggested that 49.8 million metric tons of e-waste would be produced in 2018. Most of this is sent to huge landfills in developing countries, which leads to the pollution of local land and water supplies. If you recycle your old mobile phone, you help to reverse this trend and decrease your carbon footprint at the same time.

What happens after I recycle my old phone?
We recycle broken phones in two ways. The first, if possible, is to repair and refurbish your old phone so it can go to a new home. If we can’t do that, we’ll recycle your phone and its components in a responsible and safe manner. Either way, you can rest assured that your old phone won’t damage the environment.
Selling your broken phone couldn’t be easier. Just get an instant price, send it for FREE and we’ll pay you the same day it arrives. We’ve paid hundreds of millions to our happy customers, plus we’ve won Best Recycling Service at the What Mobile Awards multiple times. Why wouldn’t you?
