Mobile Phone Recycling is Big Business

Most mobile phones are in use for a year and a half or less. Therefore up to 130 billion mobiles are being hoarded or discarded every 18 months - most of which still work fine! That is a lot of product being stored away or sitting in a landfill, especially when so many people are interested in refurbished or slightly used mobiles.

Lots of companies began to see that they could make big profits through giving people cash for old mobiles and reselling them on. It's a good way for these companies to make some money by recycling or reselling your old phone as well as a chance for you to get something back for it. By recycling your old mobile phone, both you and the mobile recycler help prevent toxic waste from polluting our water supply and terrestrial waste. This is most certainly a win/win situation for everyone involved!
