Recycling mobile phones at Scope shop in Acomb
10:03am Monday 15th March 2010 in
I work in the Scope shop in Acomb, and would like to say a massive thank-you to everyone who helped us break the world record for recycling mobile phones back in January.
The response we had was overwhelming, and I am delighted to be able to share the news that we have set a new Guinness World Record and raised thousands of pounds to support our work with disabled people at the same time.
The phones we collected have already been recycled by our partner, Redeem Plc.
We recycle mobile phones all year round, so we’re asking any readers that come across any other unused handsets, to please bring them into the shop along with any other good quality stock donations.
While we won’t be breaking any new records for a while, they will still help us raise much-needed funds for our work.
Virginia Eland, Shop manager, Scope, Acomb York Road, Acomb, York.
