Your lost mobile phone can be reclaimed for recycling.
Every year several million people lose at least one expensive gadget. They forget their laptops or mobiles in taxis or bars. A recently conducted study by O2 has found that Northeners living in Scotland are vulnerable to gadget loss after a late night out. It also brought to light the fact that close to half of the 2000 people surveyed, never opted to reclaim the lost item. They preferred claiming the insurance value of those gadgets instead of putting in efforts to locate them.
Many lost electronic items are often found in places such as trains, shops, parks, bars and even inside taxis. Among them, it is the mobile phones that are lost the most. Misplacing an electronic item or a mobile phone can be considered equivalent to losing money, as these items can be easily turned in for recycling to earn some handy cash. If any of such items remain unclaimed for a period of one year, companies turn them over to the recycling units. The proceeds from the lost gadgets are donated for the betterment of young people of UK.
If any of you have lost a mobile phone recently, it may be a good idea to put in efforts to locate it, as you can earn some cash for it. Remember, it is money that you spent on the phone after all, so why abstain from taking advantage of the mobile phone recycling process? Alternatively, you can feel better about contributing to UK’s youth as well.
