Some of you out there will be already planning your upgrade to a new Windows Phone 7 handset. That means you’ll have an old phone to dispose of. Why not put it to a good use.
If you are in Ireland you can post your phone (free of charge) to the Jack and Jill Foundation. They help out by:
“The Jack & Jill Foundation provides care and support for children with severe neurological development issues, as well as offering some respite to the parents and families.
This could be through home visits from nurses, with practical tips on how to access the services a child will need. Listening to what parents want for their child and making representations on their behalf. Bereavement support and an online forum for parents.”
I used to associate them with mobile phones because many shops carry their pre-addressed envelopes. But it turns out that they accept much more:
- Mobile Phones
- Digital Cameras
- Computers Pentium 4 or later
- Laptops Pentium 4 or later
- Flat Screen Monitors
- Laser / Inkjet Printer Cartridges
If you are outside of Ireland then have a quick search on the Internet. There’s a good chance that you can help a similar local organisation at no cost to yourself while clearing your home or office of clutter. Maybe have a chat with your employers to find out what they do with old equipment because there’s a chance that your company can help too.
