Recycle your mobile phone

There are 15 million mobiles replaced in the UK every year. That's a hell of a lot of annoying ring tones, and worse, it equates to 1500 tonnes of landfill. The same as burying a World War 2 destroyer. And despite the strong desire to grab the bloke on the train's Flip Up 2200 and chuck it in the nearest bin, resist. The least irritating thing about your mobile should be what use it can be put to after its death. Through the Fonebak scheme you can drop your old handsets into over 1200 outlets throughout the UK.
