Send your technology to a better place


Only 11% of the UK population resells or recycles their mobile phones (source: TNS Omnibus 2008). Even fewer recycle cameras and MP3 players. Each year in the UK, 20 million phones are tossed into landfill and will take more than 1,000 years to break down (www.wasteonline.org.uk). Or they are sitting in drawers doing nothing.

Send your technology to a better place. When you recycle through Simply Drop™, your technology is reused or recycled for parts and metals to be used again. (FAQs)

Either way, you are reducing landfill and reducing your personal environmental impact.

Clear your drawers, reduce landfill and let your unused devices do some good!

Cut down on inkjet cartridges in landfill


Every year, over 1.1 billion printer cartridges are sold around the world with half of these ending up in landfills. Inkjet cartridges can easily be remanufactured up to two or three times each resulting in fewer going directly to landfills.

Simply Drop™ is an easy way to reduce your environmental impact. Don't throw your inkjet cartridges away … Simply Drop™ them!
