The website recycle.co.uk has been relaunched this week. This is a dedicated recycling site whose slogan is ‘don’t bin it, recycle it!’. The mission of the website is to reduce the amount of things that go to landfill in the UK and it aims to help consumers put unwanted goods to better use. Recycle.co.uk helps UK consumers to find good homes for surplus items and also allows them to exchange old mobile phones for cash.
Recycle.co.uk is a free giveaway website where consumers can advertise all unwanted items for free to people in their area. The site also now offers a new mobile phone comparison tool so that users can earn money from their old mobile phones.
As well as generating income from old mobile phones, users of the site are able to advertise all types of things from kitchen to electrical items. Sellers are able to add a contact phone number to their advert while people looking at the adverts for unwanted items can set up email alerts which tell them when things they are searching for have been added to the site.
The search functionality has been improved to include post code searches to help people find the items which are closest to their homes. This in itself is environmentally friendly, reducing the need for people to travel longer distances to collect the items they buy.
