Be prepared – get recycling!

Companies and individuals in Luton can make cash from their trash for Lea Valley District.  The local Scout District and it's 7 Scout Groups have launched an innovative new appeal which raises funds through the recycling of mobile phones, PDAs and printer cartridges.  The Scouts Appeal is run by recycling experts Redeem Plc and will help  Lea Valley District make money from items normally thrown in the bin.

The people of Luton can show their support for the appeal by donating their old mobile and PDA handsets and used printer cartridges.  The Scouts Appeal will give Lea Valley District cash for each reusable item received on their behalf.

Local businesses can also help the appeal by saving their used printer cartridges and phones.  Taking part is easy and completely free as Scouts Appeal will arrange collection from their premises. Not only will recycling allow companies to raise funds for Lea Valley District, it will also boost their green credentials.

Supporting the Scouts Appeal has a positive impact on the environment as it diverts mobile phones, PDAs and printer cartridges from landfill.  These items contain toxic substances which, if they are dumped, can leak into the surrounding soil and pollute the earth.  Donating them means they can be reused or disposed of safely.

Please take a look at the Scouts Appeal Price List to see which mobile phones, PDAs and printer cartridges we can recycle for cash. Every little helps, so please do get your work colleagues and your families involved too! Hand the items for recycling to your section leaders and they will pass them on for collection.

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

Lots of people have unwanted mobiles in their homes and businesses generally upgrade their handsets each year so please ask both individuals and companies to participate in our 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. See the Scouts Appeal Price List for an up to date list of mobiles and cartridges they can accept and their current recycling market values.
