That’s a lot of phones!!

So if you’re staring the new year with a shiny new phone, don’t bin the old one. Recycle it and raise money for Eden’s pioneering educational work.

The Eden Project has teamed up with Corporate Mobile Recycling (CMR) to launch the Mobiles for Mud campaign. It’s a really simple scheme that converts unwanted mobiles into donations and also helps prevent mobile phones going to landfill. For every mobile phone recycled the Eden Project receives the second-hand value of your phone to help support our vital educational programme Mud Between Your Toes.

If you have less than 20 phones then simply send them in a jiffy bag, FREEPOST,to:

Or if you would like to request a FREEPOST recycling envelope please phone 01726 8187352.

If you’re donating more than 20 phones, please call 0870 752 0999 to arrange a free courier collection.

Your support will make a real difference.
