Step 3
Sending the products to us for recycling
Please ensure that you have 50 or more items of points value, or 15 mobiles, before sending a collection back to us. You can view and download the current list of items we accept and their points value at the bottom of this page. Please check our lists as you may be charged if you send items not listed, if in doubt please contact us.
When it is time for you to send us the products that you have collected for recycling there are 2 options:
Option 1 - You Send and gain an extra 20 Points! - you can send parcels directly to us at Reciproc8 Recycling Limited, Broad Oak Business Park, Redbrook Maelor, Whitchurch, Shropshire, Sy13 3AQ. For parcels received containing 50 or more items of points value, or 15 mobiles, we will credit your account with an additional 20 Reciproc8 Points™. Please ensure that any parcels sent comply with our packing and labelling requirements which are detailed below.
Option 2 - We Collect - a collection can be arranged free of charge from addresses in mainland UK for 50 or more items of points value or 15 mobiles. Please visit the Contact Us section and let us know or call
Should the parcel for any reason not be available for collection on the agreed date then 10 Reciproc8 Points™ will be deducted to cover the failed collection costs. If the collection does not contain 50 items of points value, or 15 mobiles, you will be deducted 20 Reciproc8 Points™ to cover collection costs. Should the collection procedures not be adhered to, including sending items not included on our lists, you may be invoiced for all associated costs.
Packing and Labelling
Please ensure products are boxed and packaged securely to avoid damage to goods in transit. We encourage you to reuse boxes and packaging materials for collection/delivery. Each box should weigh no more than 31kgs; We can accept multiple boxes however this needs to be advised at the time of booking the collection. Please do not use your Recylcling Bin to send the products to us.
Please enclose a completed packing sheet within the consignment, this is available to download at the bottom of this page. Retain a copy for your records and where possible email to collections@reciproc8.co.uk prior to collection. We also recommend that collection/delivery dockets from couriers are saved.
All boxes must be labelled with your account number. If multiple boxes are used please ensure that all boxes are labelled e.g. Box One labelled "1 of 2" and Box Two labelled '2 of 2".
We do not accept claims for damages to goods in transit. To avoid damage to items please put them into their original box or wrap them in bubble/newspaper before bulk packaging.
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 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.
You may be charged if you send items that are not included in our lists and are items that we do not accept, if in doubt please contact us.
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.

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. We accept all makes and models of mobile phones whatever their condition. |
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:

Inkjet Cartridges
|
Inkjet Cartridges can be worth up to 2 points. We recycle lots of different types. Please check the list below for the ones we accept. We do not accept Toner cartridges. |
Inkjet Cartridges 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. |
