Recently upgraded to a new digital camera? Why not recycle your old camera?
You’ve heard all about recycling your mobile phone right? Several companies now allow you to recycle cameras too! Why not do your bit for the environment and earn a bit of cash at the same time.
-
Don’t just throw your old camera into the bin. This causes harm to the environment around you, and also wastes the opportunity for making yourself some cash.

Beware – not all companies take all makes and models of camera. Check the company you chosen carefully to ensure they will take your camera AND pay you for it.
