RECYCLING FOR THE BHS

Recycling is an easy way of supporting The British Horse Society and in addition you will be helping improve the environment. The two schemes that you can currently get involved in are;

Recycle your old mobile phones for the BHS
By recycling old and unused mobile phones you can raise money for The British Horse Society - it is the easy way to recycle and raise money for a good cause. You can help to raise money for The British Horse Society by recycling your unwanted or redundant mobile phone. On average, each reusable mobile will be worth £6 to the BHS. However, for some phones like the Sony Ericsson K8001 this could raise up to £20. As well as all mobile phones, Apple Ipod MP3 players, working or non working can be accepted. If you are a company, group or club and wish to recycle more than ten mobiles then please contact CMR directly and they will arrange a third party courier to collect the handsets and process them on behalf of the BHS.
For envelopes or further details about the campaign, please contact Corporate Mobile Recycling on 0800 298 9069 or email [email protected] or visit the website on www.cmrecycling.co.uk/bhs
