Scope for improvement

May 29th, 2006

Thinking of dumping your old mobile phone and trading it in for one of those ones which can play the theme from Knight Rider really loudly?
If so, disability charity Scope needs YOU to help out with their sexy mobile phone and printer cartridge recycling appeal.
They’ve been doing ‘the math’ and reckon there are some 90 million old mobiles just lying around gathering dust in drawers and cupboards across the UK.
So they’re asking members of the public (and indeed, members of the People’s Republic) to hand in any old phones to their friendly neighbourhood Scope shop.
They’ll then magically turn these chunky old handsets and used printer cartridges into cash which will enable the charity to continue in their quest to achieve equality for disabled people.
Oh, and supporting the appeal is also an easy way to, like, totally save the planet by diverting unnecessary waste from landfill.
Mobile phones and printer cartridges are famously fulla toxic soup which can leak into the soil surrounding landfill sites, damaging plants and turning turtles into masked crime-fighting vigilantes.
But hey, you knew that already, didn’t you?
