Mobile phones contain highly toxic substances that if disposed of incorrectly go directly to landfill resulting in contamination of soil, water and air "We have to stop this and take active steps to ensure mobile phones don't end up in domestic landfill," added Leyla Porteous, Support Services Manager of Khadamat.
