We've been in the recycling industry for over a decade recycling phones, tablets and other tech whilst maintaining an irrefutable reputation as best in class.
Simply put, we are the best rated online recycler and often pay the most.
MusicMagpie are certainly the largest recycling company in the UK with a huge warehouse in Stockport (must cost a fortune to heat!). There are two reasons to chose plunc™ over Magpie:
Envirofone were the first major phone recycler in the UK and for many the first company which springs to mind. However the company now reduces offers based on cosmetic condition which has led to numerous bad reviews meaning they are now in 21st[1] position on TrustPilot. Of course, plunc™ are #1!
Mazuma are known for their reliable service, but they admit themselves they pay comparatively low prices. We actually recommend Mazuma to our customers for devices which we no longer recycle. They are one of the sites we check routinely every day and always make sure we pay more. Mazuma are 13th[1] on TrustPilot. Guess where plunc™ sits in the leaderboard?
It's tempting to go to a comparison website and trust in the top result. After all the comparison websites have you, the customer, in mind and want to provide you with the best companies out there? Well... actually no; their priority is to get paid by the recycling companies they list and so field as many options as possible. This means companies who really shouldn't be in business or have not built up any trading history have not been vetted.
You'll usually find the top 5 offers are new companies with no track record who downgrade their offer based on cosmetic wear and tear, which is not made clear when you see their supposed top price paid.
You won't find plunc™ listed on comparison sites for this reason. A comparison website should compare apples to apples, not apples to bad apples.

If we haven't yet convinced you then read on to take a look at our insider's report on our competitors in the recycling industry, which we found an eye opener.
We've done our research on the competition and some will promise the world only to then decrease their offer based on the cosmetic condition of the device (iPads in this case), leaving you with less than expected.
At plunc™, the price you see is the price you get.
