Charities Want Your Old Phones |
|
Dear Editor |
|
No doubt your readers have been watching the tsunami news reports, stunned at the devastation following the massive earthquake off the coast of Sumatra. |
The British public in the form of monetary donations has given a phenomenal amount of support. I am writing to let your readers know about another way they can help - by donating old mobile phones and printer cartridges.
These are items that often end up in the bin, yet they have the potential to raise a massive amount of money. As a representative of Eurosource, a company that specialises in running charity-recycling appeals, I want as many people as possible to know about this innovative fundraising opportunity.
Eurosource has pledged to give cash to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) for every mobile and cartridge that is recycled. As this is the umbrella organisation for various aid agencies, we feel the DEC is best placed to ensure that the funds raised go to those who need them most.
So, readers, if any of you received a new mobile phone for Christmas, I am urging you to donate YOUR OLD ONE to our Tsunami Recycling Appeal. To find out what types of mobiles and cartridges we can recycle, and how much we'll give to the DEC for the items donated, visit http://www.recyclingappeal.com/tsunami
If you have a mobile phone or printer cartridge to donate, all you have to do is visit the website or call 08712 50 50 50 and ask for a freepost bag for the Tsunami Recycling Appeal - then drop your item in the post.
Yours sincerely
