If you have an old cell phone hanging around, don’t throw it in the trash. Most electronics contain toxic materials that can harm the environment if disposed improperly. Reuse allows your old phone to give more years of service to offset the resources used and the environmental manufacturing cost. Recycling can return metals and other materials to the manufacturing arena so they are not lost to the landfill. There are many options for disposal of old cell phones. Be sure to properly remove your personal data, preferably with a factory reset, before you dispose of your old cell phone. Remove the SIM card if it’s still in the phone. Consult a source that you trust when looking for locations to donate or recycle your old cell phone.
