Help the animals and turn your old mobile 'phones into cash!

If you were lucky enough to get a new mobile 'phone for Christmas, then why not help small animal charity CavyRescue by recycling your old one?

Kent based CavyRescue - the UK's first and only dedicated rodent rescue charity - is asking the public to help them continue their work with abandoned, abused and unwanted small furries by turning their old 'phones into much needed funds.

Stella Hulott, co-founder of CavyRescue says: "Many people throw out their old 'phones without realising that they could be put to good use. At the rescue – where our annual bill is around £15,000 - we can recycle them to help raise funds for the shelter. For example, even just one person saving an old mobile 'phone for us to recycle will pay for enough bedding to last three days! "

Stella adds: "It couldn't be easier to do. Simply email, text or 'phone through your address to us and we will send you a Freepost bag in which you can put your 'phone and then send off for recycling. It doesn't even matter if the 'phone no longer works, it can still be recycled. It won't cost you a penny to do but will help us to save lives".

CavyRescue was set up in 1999 and has rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed over 1,600 small furries (guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils and rats) via the shelter – which is run from home - and its website. Its aim is to educate individuals and organisations on small animal healthcare and welfare and they regularly run successful campaigns to this effect.
