Every year 18 million mobile phones are bought in the UK. But what's happening to all the old ones? Would you chuck yours in the bin? Most people do.
But here's a better idea, why not change it in to a tree? We're not suggesting you plant it you understand. Neither have we obtained magical powers, or gone completely bonkers.
No. All you need to do is remove your SIM card, place your phone with its battery in a sturdy envelope and send it to:
Woodland Trust Recycling Appeal, Greener Solutions, FREEPOST LON17592, Mitcham, CR4 3UZ
Or you can order a supply of our special freepost envelopes to give to your family and friends. Just call 020 8274 4040 quoting reference “Woodland Trust” or email wt@greenersolutions.com.
We will receive a donation of £2.50 for your phone, even if it’s stopped working or is well past its best. Which will help us to plant even more trees towards our Tree for All target.
So there you have it. Magic.

As an organisation that generally likes things green, the Woodland Trust has quite a lot of ideas about recycling stuff. You can find out more here.
