Mobile phone recycling has become very popular in the UK since there are reportedly 100 million unused handsets just lying around people's homes. The Boots mobile phone recycling program is like many other recycle programs in the UK other than the lack of payment options. You really only have the option to select Advantage Card points or donate to a charity which is quite different than some others that offer you a cheque and even straight cash. There have also been issues with the points quotes online not holding up once the devices have been sent in due to them being damaged and not meeting their 'working' terms, this however is only a small proportion of the sales applied for.
The devices that qualify are:
The steps to recycling your unused devices and trading them in for Advantage Card points with Boots are pretty easy.
Ink cartridges themselves are not particularly harmful on the environment but the ink inside of them is which is why the Boots Recycle Ink Cartridges program is worth checking out. Ink cartridges are actually not biodegradable and the chemicals within the ink can cause very harmful health effects as well. Plus, they are very corrosive when left in landfills so recycling them the right way can be very beneficial to our environment! Just remember to think smart whenever you are disposing your ink cartridges if you want your children and their children to live in a better environment.
There are several different models that qualify for Boots Recycle Ink Cartridges including some Cannon, Lexmark and several Hewlett Packard models so you want to check out your specific model online before you send in your cartridges. There is actually only one Samsung cartridge model (the M41) that is accepted though so any other Samsung models will have to be recycle through other means. For recycling these qualified ink cartridges you can receive a reward of 100 Advantage Card points or even donate your reward to a charity from their lists.
The process to recycle your old ink cartridges is made very easy for you with Boots. All you have to do is make sure your model of cartridge qualifies, select how many you would like to recycle and then choose your reward. From there you send your cartridges in with their prepaid envelope and then wait for them to receive it so you can receive your reward.
Whether you decide to recycle your unused mobile devices or old ink cartridges with Boots or not it is a good idea to recycle them in general. After all, having them sit around your house collecting dust isn't helping anyone out and you could get cash, points and even donate to a worthy charity just by sending in this old stuff through the post. You can not only make a positive impact on your wallet but also the environment as well just by doing this small little recycling project. Realistically what are you going to do with those broken and unused devices anyways other than eventually probably just throw them in the trash can. Earn some points and help the environment with Boots recycle ink cartridges and Boots mobile phone recycle programs.
