A HOSPICE is appealing for people to donate their unwanted mobile telephones to a recycling scheme.
The Butterwick Hospice at Bishop Auckland has launched the fundraising project.
A spokesman said: "More and more people are changing to different networks and rely on text and answer machine features."
The hospice also recycles computer printer ink jet cartridges, used postage stamps, aluminium cans and foil, and cardboard, and has newspaper skips in Spennymoor, Bishop Auckland, Frosterley and Newton Aycliffe.
Mobile telephones can be taken to the hospice from Monday to Friday, between 9.15am and 4.45pm.
For more details about the project contact (01388) 603003.
