Old Cell, New Tricks: Sell Your Mobile Phone
It’s pretty fascinating how quickly cell phones in only the past ten years have become an essential and integral part of our everyday lives. There’s so much that can be done on a contemporary cell phone: games, apps, texting. There’s a myth going around that people can even make phone calls (like Sasquatch, this is rarely seen). What happens to that phone when it runs its course though?
Most Americans, around 93% toss them aside, letting Mother Nature take the heat for whatever unknown materials happen to seep into the environment (side note: mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic). The other 7% are basically those who keep up on money making trends or really love the environment or really wanted to see their Smart Phone reincarnated. Anyway, rather than trash your old handheld friend (it deserves better), you should sell your mobile.
Most cell phone users will usually upgrade their phones once every 18-24 months, some a lot sooner as accidents happen and others a lot later because they’re clingy. Therefore, one of the easiest ways to make money selling your mobile phone is to go around to everybody you know: friends, family, co-workers, that waitress at the bar who knows way too much about philosophy, and collect all of their unwanted and unusable mobile phone devices.
Next, you take this cadre of text tombs to a nearby cell phone recycling plant where they can properly dispose of it (usually by parting it out like a car) and give you a little extra cash in your pocket. And who couldn’t use some extra green?
Selling your mobile phone benefits all parties concerned. People in third-world countries get to greatly enjoy having access to technology they might not have otherwise. Mother Nature gets a much needed break from unwanted pollutants and spacious electronic waste. Finally, you make a little coin which can be used to buy that awesome lightsaber app.
