That’s all good and well to “donate” but who gets the silver and gold bars???? The man just keeps on getting more money, cept now he’s worked out an even easier way to take a dollar out of your pocket and into his.
go up to your address bar, put the letter “Q” between the words you and tube and then press enter or click go
regardless people always want the new cell phones. specially now that we have the smart phone fad.
nice vid, check out this new cellphones

only a year and a half per phone?… i’ve hade my same old cell for the past 7 years. people need to take better care of there possions, so they dont have to end up in the landfill’s in the first place.
I work in a cell phone store and the owners didn’t even know about recycling when I was hired on. We now recycle many of them. I don’t know why the government doesn’t require a core charge on the purchase of new cellphones. They require me to return old car parts and battery’s, why not cellphones? It’s another way to either bring in profit to subsidize development of more eco-friendly cellphones, or just get the old ones off the streets.
It’s more important to hold onto your cell phone as lon as you can. If you need to buy a new one then buy refurbished. Stop giving cell phone companies the right to profit at the expense of our environment
Im doing a project on cellphone disposal and dangerous metals in cell phones and this was really helpful..thanks!
If there are no cell phone recycling or collection sites near you,
recyclemycellphone . org
will pay ALL the shipping charges so you can send it to them for recycling for FREE.
We all have a responsibility to do the right thing. With an awesome web site like this around, none of us have any excuse not to protect our environment. Please recycle!
I believe that people inherently know its wrong to throw away their cell phone. Hopefully some of the recycling cell phone services beef up their marketing to get the word out.
Do the right thing and recycle your old cell phone or find a way to put it to re-use!!!
as a society, we must move from a mindset of disposability to one where materials are recycled in an endless loop with minimal loss… companies will not lead the charge – people must DEMAND it.
When I buy a new cell phone & I have had 9 of them over the past 15 years.
I have been todby the major cell companies in Australia to
“just throw it away”
200 phone to make a gold ring, my god.
Don’t be sorry, your English was almost perfect. =)
i pay once about new cell phone (when he is new, he is not cheap) after then i must give them back for free and companys will earn again money from me…
They are stupid. I will never give them back no one of my old cell phones.
That is agressive bussiness. I dont like that.
If you want my old cell phone – give me lower price for new!
i never had a phone wich endures more than a year, companies are all bullshit. (i’m spanish, sorry about if i’d make some mistake)
i think more action needs to be done in Canada. there is no program awareness for cell phones, and no one here are informed about environmental impact. there are no bins in cell retail distributors and i think it should be it should be government regulated. if people do not want to drink toxic water, im sure everyone would do there part. the problem is the message is not out there.
in the UK – Recycle.. we are terrible for it..

Mr. Serious cell phone mann nrawrrrrrrrr
lol……….
Cradle to cradle; close the loop and until it’s closed, choose what to put in the garbage- imagine it goes to your backyard- reduce, reuse, recycle. One item at a time; thanks for this information.
