How Can You Help?

Did you know that in the UK alone over 2 million printer cartridges are disposed of in landfill sites and 15 million unwanted mobiles are similarly discarded?

In partnership with Reclaim-it a leading Electronic Waste management company, we have developed a scheme to turn your old mobile phones and empty printer cartridges into valuable funds to help continue our work.

Muscular dystrophy is a progressive and devastating muscle wasting condition affecting over 30,000 people in the UK. The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign empowers people with the conditions to allow them to lead independent and fulfilled lives. We provide vital emotional and practical support through our expert Care and Information teams and fund pioneering medical research into treatments and cures. The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign strives to create a world where muscle disease is not a barrier to quality or length of life

If you would like to help raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign whilst at the same time reducing the amount of electronic waste consigned to landfill, there are several methods by which Reclaim-it can arrange the free collection of your old mobile phones and or empty printer cartridges.

1. If you have any old mobile phones at home or use an inkjet printer then we can send you some free-post envelopes to return them directly to Reclaim-it on our behalf. Simply seal the old mobile phone(s) or empty inkjet cartridges in the envelope and pop it in the post to Reclaim-it this is totally free of charge and Reclaim it will donate the value of each item to the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign.

2. If you work in a small office or shop perhaps you could take one of our free-post envelope display boxes so that friends, colleagues or visitors could pick up an envelope and also help us by recycling their old mobile phones and empty inkjet cartridges.

3. If you work in a larger office that uses more printer cartridges, Reclaim-it can locate a collection box directly in your workplace. The collection box acts as a focus for recycling and once full all you need to do is call Reclaim-it who will arrange collection and replacement of the full box.

To request any of the above simply click on the highlighted links, fill in your details, and you will receive the items by return post.

On behalf of everyone at the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign I would like to thank you for your kind support.
