If you still know the maker/model of the original piece of equipment, you might want to try putting them on eBay - or selling them at a car boot sale or giving them away on Freecycle - to see if someone else could use them. Some charities that collect old mobile phones might also welcome old chargers - they usually say whether or not they want them on their websites.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.recyclethis.co.uk/20090703/how-can-i-reuse-or-recycle-phone-chargersbattery-rechargers"><P>(There is a move to <A href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/feb/17/universal-mobile-phone-charger">make a universal mobile phone charger</A> - nearly all the major manufacturers have agreed to use it - so hopefully that’ll cut down this problem slightly in the future.)</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.recyclethis.co.uk/20090703/how-can-i-reuse-or-recycle-phone-chargersbattery-rechargers"><P>Any other suggestions for reuses or ways to recycle them?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.recyclethis.co.uk/20090703/how-can-i-reuse-or-recycle-phone-chargersbattery-rechargers"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.recyclethis.co.uk/img/C8D1E4DD-5305-4828-852C-499C8B84B3AF" alt="charger" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9C86703C-3330-4B14-87AA-D9FD71D436DF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
