Consumer goods recycling website helps shoppers across the UK to swap unneeded buys with other web users and make money on outdated mobile phones
26 October 2009 – Recycle.co.uk, the leading online shopper’s recycling website, has announced a re-launch of its offering giving an even better product exchange experience. The site lets people advertise disused purchased items to other consumers for free and now also offers a premium service for any items that need to be recycled in a hurry.
From sound systems to televisions, cell phones and wall hangings, www.Recycle.co.uk helps unite those shoppers who want to move their purchases with consumers that want to use them. The site is of the opinion that one person’s junk might be someone else’s treasure, and also aims to cut down on the increasing number of landfills across the country.
People can advertise their unwanted purchases for free and now the enhanced and re-launched www.Recycle.co.uk offers still bigger reach. As extra to the network’s standard item listing service it now also gives site users courtesy notifications so that registered users can be emailed when particular types of goods has just been posted online. If a consumer is interested in a free fridge, for example, in a neighbouring area, they will be buzzed via email when one becomes available. The function allows for specific keywords to tailor updates for particular items.
The new site features significantly increase advertisers’ reach as they are able to target their adverts and this accelerates the entire recycling process. Another impressive bonus of the streamlined offering are dedicated private phone services which allow sellers and shoppers to communicate quickly and effectively.
Another element of the www.Recycle.co.uk offering is a new cell telephone recycling price comparison tool. Second-hand mobile phones are worth more than is generally believed – a used iPhone can recycle for £300, a 1-year old Nokia for up to £180 – so it is worth finding out their value. The site lets owners find out what a used phone is worth, then swap it for payment.
Gareth Robinson, owner of Recycle.co.uk and managing director of ASAP Ventures Ltd, commented, “It is often a pleasant surprise to find that someone else can use your unwanted consumer goods, and product recycling has become a really big consumer practice these days. It is ethical and responsible and has an environmental impact. Also, customers can now enjoy making money back on their used mobile phones through our new recycling price comparison function.”
Recycle.co.uk is free to register and there are also advertising opportunities on the website. The website is managed by ASAP Ventures Ltd, an Internet business specialist known for its peerless record of successful online consumer websites. For more information please see www.recycle.co.uk.
