However what remains a mystery is what they actually do with the phones! Recycle? I can't seem to find any information about where they go? I mean the name and way it is advertised would suggest they get sent abroad to good causes. In reality they probably get sold off to companies as refurb or back on ebay for a much bigger profit. In short - I wouldn't touch this website - it's just cash convertors online!

Repair costs also have to include our labour and equipment as well as parts so that's why there can be a big difference between the original trade price and the one offered.

In Japan Eco-System Recycling have found that a ton of discarded mobile phones can produce up to 150 grams of gold, whereas ore from a gold mine produces on average 5 grams per ton.
