Watch Where You Throw That Phone!
No, this isn’t a post about Naomi Campbell, although when it comes time to dish out for the newest, top of the line phone gadget, she may want to read this.
According to recyclemyphone.org, there are more than 500 MILLION used cell phones in the U.S. sitting around homes, or worse, in landfills! So instead of just letting them leak toxic chemicals into our Earth, recycle them and know you’re doing a good thing.
Recyclemyphone.org makes it easy to recycle your phone, PDA, pager, as well as the batteries and accessories that come with the phone.
And if you’re worried about your information in that phone, the site also has a program to help you clean out your device.
Also, if you don’t want to mail your phone away, Best Buy stores across the nation have recycling kiosks inside their stores where you can drop-off your phones.
So go ahead, get rid of your first cell phone you bought back in the 80’s, it’s just taking up space in that drawer anyways.
