What Can I Do For Mobile Phone Recycling?
Ultimately when it comes time for your old phones to go bye bye, you have two responsible options available to you in order to get rid of them the right way. Please, PLEASE, please do not throw them in the garbage. This can be one of the most dangerous things you could ever do! When someone decides to throw their phone in the trash instead of finding a mobile phone recycling program the phone will end up in a landfill.
Unfortunately there are a lot of people out there that are unwilling to take the time to recycle mobile. This has resulted in thousands of phones in landfills releasing toxic chemicals into the environment! Even if you could “care less” for yourself, think about your family, your kids, your friends. Would you want that for them? I don’t think so! The first option available to you would be to e-cycle these mobile phones correctly through a program, company or a website that offers mobile phone recycling. Here is a small list of sites that offer recycle mobile right on their website:
* Best Buy-Offers Grants for recycling opportunities, drop off locations available, appliance and TV recycling, mail in cell phone recycling

Another superb option for you would be to find some sites that sell your mobile for cash. These cash for phones sites will actually buy your phone back. In turn, they get a phone they can either fix and resell to someone else or back to the brand it came from, or they can give it to someone who really needs it, or they could use the parts from a non working phone to make other phones work! On the other hand, when you sell your mobile, you get cash for phones. You probably won’t get back as much as you originally spent on the phone, but you will get quite a chunk of cash for phones back that you can use for whatever you want to!
