Did you know that you can recycle it and you'll help Mother Nature and those in need of emergency communication. Some old cell phones are refurbished and given to those who are in need of 911, emergency only, communications. Cell phones contain lots toxinic materials and are very hazardous to our environment. Help keep them out of our landfills.
There is a company called ReCellular Inc. it is the largest recycler and reseller of used wireless phones and accessories in the industry. In 2004, over 3.0 million wireless handsets were collected, refurbished and resold or recycled by ReCellular, a company that that processes about 15,000 phones a day including recent models as well as older varieties. I have seen numbers like 30 - 150 million used cell phones in th US alone.
