Why recycling phones is the smart choice

Recycling phones has become fashionable in recent years but, going by the current numbers, we still have a long way to go. This week is the National Cell Phone Recycling Week in the United States, an event spearheaded by the US Environmental Protection Agency, to encourage more Americans to recycle their used mobile phones.

Why recycle phones? Why not just trash these old, clunky, and obsolete units, have these hauled to the landfills, and be done with it?

Let’s review the reasons why recycling phones is the smart choice:

Recycling phones for cash

Those old cell phones that you’ve kept hidden in sock drawers, cupboards, or closets in your house are worth a good amount of money. Cell phone traders and recyclers, like Pacebutler Corporation will pay as much as 0 for each of those mobile phones (depending, of course, on the model, the brand, and the quality of the unit). The older the phones get, the less valuable they become. To get the best value, therefore, for your discarded cell phones, you need to sell these to a recycler, as soon as you upgrade to a newer model. Of course, if you’re thinking of keeping a reserve unit if something happens to your new one, by all means, keep one or two, but turn the rest in for cash.

Now, if for some reason, you don’t need the cash, you can still sell these old units and have the proceeds sent to a charity or non-profit of your choice. When you donate cell phones this way, you’re basically contributing much-needed funds to your preferred charity, from out of something that, in all likelihood, no longer has any value to you.

 

Recycling phones to clear up clutter

In our consumerist society, many of us are constantly drawn to the promise of newer, more advanced techno toys – dataphones, laptops, PDAs, or computers – being churned out by manufacturers like Apple, Samsung, or Motorola. The latest may not always be the best, as we all know, but that’s beside the point. People always go for shiny, new things all the time. Case in point: Apple sold 300,000 units of the iPad on the very first day of that product’s recent launch!

If you’re like many of us who are forever captivated by new technology, chances are, there’s a sizable collection of old, discarded cell phones and other electronic clutter stored in some forgotten box somewhere in your house or apartment. Recycling phones is an easy and convenient way to clear up a bit of the clutter. The transactions are conveniently done online, and in just a few minutes, you’ll have those old cell phones out of your house, for good. An added bonus to having a cleaner pad, would be the check from the used cell phone trader that should be in your mail, within a few days after you’ve sent the old units to them.
