Have you ever heard of cellphone recycling? I have, just before I made this entry. While browsing the internet for the latest cellphone models I came across a website that offers to recycle your cellphone with good benefits. I never expected that this kind of business also exists here in the US. I thought it was only in Philippines. Anyway, from what I have read in this website, I learned that there’s a lot of good reasons why we need to recycle our used cellphone. First, they contain materials that are toxic which is not good if not disposed properly. Second, it is better that others would benefit from your old phone than to let it decay in your drawers or you can just give it to less fortunate friends or relatives if there are any. Third, you can send your old phones to institutions where they can dispose of the item in the correct manner.

We keep changing phones, most of us even try to get a new one every time a higher model comes out. Obviously, people nowadays want to be very updated when it comes to technology. They don’t care even if they spend all their savings just for the sake of having a new cellphone or gadget. In Wirefly.org, they can provide you with a lot of information where you can make money of your old phone or even have charities make use of them. You can also give them your defective phone so they can fix it and have use for it. Swapping is also a good option, where you can swap your old phone/phones to get a new one. I know you guys are familiar with this kind of business because it’s really popular in the Philippines, right? So, if you live in the US and your old phones are piling up check the cellphone recycling programs page of the website and learn how you can donate it to others.
