How Many Points are Items Worth?

How Many Points are the Items that you collect for recycling worth?

The points that you can earn through collecting items varies depending on the item, whether the item works and the condition of the item.

In general Mobile Phones can earn you the most points, then Sat Navs, then PDAs and MP3/4s, followed by Toners and Inkjet Cartridges.

Items that are in good working condition are worth more points than items in poor condition which in turn are worth more than damaged items that do not work.

To help you understand how many points items are worth and which items we accept we have provided further information below. You can also download a detailed list of the items that we currently accept and the points value of each of these. These downloads are in pdf format and are at the bottom of this page.

We aim to reward our recycling partners with the maximum points for the items collected for recycling. That's why we assess every single collection that we receive.

Tips

Mobile Phones

Mobiles can be worth up to 200 points per phone but normally the phones collected are worth approximately 10 to 20 points.

This is for standard mobile phones that are working and in average condition.

Mobile Phones that do not work are worth less points than those that work.

As Mobiles earn you the most points you want to collect as many of these as you can to make your scheme as successful as possible. 

Mobiles can be collected throughout the year but the key collection times are:

  • January - after Santa has delivered the new mobiles
  • Easter - the Easter Bunny often brings new mobiles
  • September - students often start the new academic year with new phones

Satellite Navigation

Sat Navs can be worth up to 200 points but normally the units collected are worth approximately 20 points.

Sat Navs that do not work are worth less points than those that work.

Sat Navs can earn you high points and can really help to enhance your points total. Sat Navs can be collected throughout the year but the best times to really boost your points total is:

  • January - after Santa has delivered the new versions
  • Mothers Day and Fathers Day - Mum and Dad often receive these as presents, get them to recycle the old ones
  • March and September - this is when the new car registrations occur and people upgrade their satnavs

PDAs, MP3s, MP4s

PDAs and MP3/4s can be worth up to 100 points but normally the units collected are worth approximately 10 points.

Items that do not work are worth less points than those that work.

Collecting PDAs and MP3/4s is a really good way to boost the performance of your scheme. They can be collected throughout the year but the best times to really boost your points total is:

  • January - after Santa has delivered the new versions
  • Easter - the Easter Bunny often brings new versions
  • Summer - people buy new ones to use on holiday

Inkjet Cartridges And Toners

Inkjet Cartridges and Toners can be worth up to 4 points.

We recycle hundreds of different types. Please check the list below for the ones we accept.

Inkjet Cartridges and Toners are used throughout the year and although they are not worth the same level of points as Mobiles they are a great way to continually keep earning points throughout the year.

As well as all those that you use in your organisation there are plenty in people's homes. 70% of the working population work from home at some point during the week and most have printers!

Get everyone you know to use you as the collection point for all these Cartridges and Toners.
