Girlguiding UK Recycling Appeal is a fantastic fundraising recycling programme for guiding across the UK. Your unit will earn cash for every reusable mobile phone, PDA and empty printer cartridge recycled - so the more you collect the more money you will raise!

What to do

With the Girlguiding UK Recycling Appeal raising money is really easy:

• You'll receive your Welcome Pack within days of signing up
• Use our free resources to promote your appeal to the public
• All old phones and cartridges should be put into a cardboard box NOT the bin
• When your box is full, simply request a collection.
• We'll come and collect your box and your account will be credited with money earned. (Please make sure your account number is marked clearly on your package).
• Payments are automatically issued between 4 - 6 weeks from the collection date.

What to collect

Mobile phones and PDAs have a higher value than printer cartridges so will raise the most money. However, cartridges are more plentiful, so collect both!

Lots of people have unwanted mobiles in their homes and businesses generally upgrade their handsets each year so ask both individuals and companies to participate in your appeal.

Laser and inkjet cartridges are found in printers, fax machines and desktop copiers– so if anyone you know works in an office or has a home computer ask for their used cartridges!

The vast majority of mobile phones and cartridges will generate cash, but there are some which don't have a value.
