Very simple and personable process. They kept me informed on what was happening and next steps. The process of selling old cameras was very easy.

How to give a second life to your old camera.

I had a load of old cameras that were gathering dust but I didn’t want to throw them out. I searched recycling for cameras and Camera Recycle popped up. Louis was great. He gave me an estimated price for the equipment and assured me if some of the cameras couldn’t be renovated and sold on they would be used for parts and recycled. Smooth process, quick payment and decent people to deal with. Thank you!

Great company to do business with

Great company to do business with. Fast, efficient and friendly service from Louis and above all a good price paid (immediately) for my old cameras. Their free postage and collection service is a bonus. Would definitely recommend 100 percent and no hesitation in using again. THANK YOU Camera Recycle.

Quick and easy to use

Unlike the heavily advertised site this one will take a list and give the range of offer they will make depending on condition. Very quick.

New life for 35mm film cameras

35mm film cameras may have been overtaken by digital photography but they still are wonderful machines and I am sentimentally attached to mine. I certainly didn’t want my old Olympus OM to be chucked away so I was pleased to find Camera Recycle would pay a reasonable amount for my kit.
I was cautious to start with, not knowing the company, but grew in confidence and I have now delivered my old cameras and have been paid for them. Sad as I am to see them go, I recognise that they had lain unused for many years and now have the prospect of a new recycled life. The whole process was efficient, professional and courteous. Thanks!

Excellent Company

Excellent Company. Responded to emails quickly and the communication was great. Gave a really honest appraisal of the items I sent in and received a very fair offer which was in my bank within hours of accepting. Would highly recommend.
