How to Recycle Dead Gadgets

Cell Phones


How to Recycle Dead Gadgets (3)As with computers, most cell phone providers will take back your phone when you're done with it, with varying degrees of reward, incentive and privacy-invasion (find the collection program closest to you here). Those that aren't refurbished are pilfered for their metal and plastics for use in other products -- everything from circuit boards to kitchen cabinetry -- which keeps those materials out of the landfill.

With RIPMobile.com, you can turn your old phone in using a free postage label and receive gift certificates in return to places like Circuit City and PayPal. If you'd rather continue the good recycling karma, wirelessfoundation.org will collect your mobiles to help Call To Protect, a program that refurbishes and resells mobile phones and donates the proceeds to domestic abuse charities.
