Recycle 4 Charity

Do you have old or broken mobile phones lying around your house, or empty printer cartridges that you would like to recycle? Why not recycle them and help us raise the much needed funds to support people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at the same time?

Is it easy?

Yes! All you have to do is contact Emma at NRAS, either by email - emma@nras.org.uk, or by phone - 0845 458 3969, and let her know how many freepost recycling envelopes you would like and we will send them to you in the post. When they arrive, put the mobile phones/printer cartridges that you would like to recycle in the envelope and post them to Recycle4Charity - you don't even have to write an address on the envelope or pay for the postage, it's that simple!

How many recycling envelopes will I need?

You can have as many freepost recycling bags as you like! Each bag can hold up to three mobiles/cartridges and you are more than welcome to request extra bags to give to your friends and family.

Can I recycle any mobile phone?

Yes, Recycle4Charity will take any mobile phone regardless of whether it is broken or locked.

Which printer cartridges can I recycle?

The main cartridges that can be recycled are Dell, Canon, Lexmark and Hewlett-Packard inkjets, but for a full list please click here

How much money will NRAS receive from my recycled mobiles and cartridges?

The majority of inkjet cartridges will raise £1, so every 12 cartridges that you recycle for NRAS, you will be paying for a helpline call to support someone with RA.

Mobile phones can raise up to £30 when recycled, so just 1 recycled phone will help fund the production of an information toolkit for a volunteer. Why are volunteers important?

What else can I do to help?

If your hospital or workplace would like to ‘go green’ too, please contact Emma at NRAS to talk about collecting empty laser and toner printer cartridges too.
