CHARITIES
MPRO are proud to be working alongside a number of charities to help raise vital funds through the recycling of old mobile phones. MPRO has integrated the charities shown below into the Sell Order process on this website so that people selling their old phone can automatically choose to donate the value of a device to one of them instead of themself. Raising money through recycling an old mobile phone not only helps generate these funds for the charity but also helps towards saving the environment by reducing the amount of electronic devices being thrown away and sent to landfill.
If you work for a charity and wish to be added to our Sell Order system, please contact us on 0844 4141417 and we will be happy to arrange a meeting, we can also help with setting up and running a recycling scheme within your charity, school or organisation. We can provide collection bins and also arrange free of charge quarterly collections from your premises.
We have provided more information about the good work carried out by our chosen charities below, you can also link through to their websites for further information.
