REUSE or RECYCLE Your Cell Phone
Did you just get a new cell phone and don’t know what to do with the old one? Rather than adding it to your collection of old or unwanted cell phones, don’t toss it, REUSE or RECYCLE it. Before doing so, make sure to:
Terminate your service
lear your memory
emove the SIM card, if applicable
Cell phones should not be thrown out with regular trash that is sent to landfills as they contain toxic materials such as antimony, arsenic, copper, beryllium, cadmium, lead, and zinc, which are harmful to the environment.
