Why Recycle?

1 Touch Mobile Recycling is a company dedicated to providing a safe, practical and reliable recycling proposition for large and small corporates, schools  retailers and any individuals with mobile phones that are no longer used or required.

1 Touch have many years experience in mobile reuse and recycling and have developed a number of innovative environmental schemes to encourage companies and individuals to get involved with mobile phone recycling.

 This is important because mobile phones are made of plastic, precious metals and some toxic materials which could cause serious damage to the environment if they were to end up in a landfill site. For example, one mobile battery could be powerful enough to pollute 600,000 litres of water!

Whether you have 5, 5,000 or 50,000 phones, we will be happy to acquire the phones from you and ensure that they are processed and disposed of (where necessary) in the appropriate manner.
