Pupils and teachers in Croydon are being encouraged to recycle their old mobile phones to raise cash for their school.

The Fones4Schools recycling campaign enables schools to receive unlimited donations of £300 for every 200 redundant mobile phones they collect, regardless of their age or condition.

In addition, every child that collects mobile phones is rewarded with a prize based on the number of phones they collect. The mobiles are then either recycled or re-used in developing countries where landline networks do not exist or are unreliable.

If you want your school or group to get involved call 01625 667 867 or see fones4schools.co.uk.
