Nursery World - Don't bin it, donate it

A phenomenal amount of support has been given by the British public in the form of monetary donations to the Asian tsunami appeal. But you can also help by donating old mobile phones and printer cartridges. These are items which often end up in the bin, yet they have the potential to raise a massive amount of money. As a representative of Eurosource, a company specialising in running charity recycling appeals, I want as many people as possible to know about this innovative fundraising opportunity.

These are items which often end up in the bin, yet they have the potential to raise a massive amount of money. As a representative of Eurosource, a company specialising in running charity recycling appeals, I want as many people as possible to know about this innovative fundraising opportunity.

Eurosource has pledged to give cash to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) for every mobile and cartridge recycled. As this is the umbrella organisation for various aid agencies, we feel the DEC is best placed to ensure the funds raised go to those who need them most.

So, readers, if any of you received a new mobile phone for Christmas, I am urging you to donate your old one to our Tsunami Recycling Appeal. To find out what types of mobiles and cartridges we can recycle, and how much we'll give to the DEC for the items donated,see www.recyclingappeal.com/ tsunami.
