An IPhone Trade-In Program Could Benefit People

I wanted to entitle this post “Don't Drop Your iPhone In The Toilet-Just In Case.” I think this actually could be a good idea. If Apple publicly announces this as an official plan, I'm on board. People could receive money for their working phones and still afford to upgrade.

Current Developments

AT&T already currently pays people up to $200 for any iPhone 4s they own. (The report also mentioned 4ss, which I searched for on the Apple site and found nothing.) According to Ganot, the smartphone purchase percentage could increase by 11 percent from 2011. It's all because of the ability to trade current phones to the store and buy then with no money down.

Why Mobile Phone Recycling is the 'In' Thing

Over 90 million mobile phones are not used and left in drawers to gather dust rather than being used correctly. So have you thought about what you will do if you got a new phone, what would happen to the old one? Phone recycling companies are sprouting up to help to correctly reuse and where needed, dispose of and recycle these phones in the correct manner as well as to increase awareness to this growing problem.

The way it works is that recycling companies, such as envirofone (http://www.recyclemobilephones.co.uk/envirofone/) give you money for recycling your old phone. Just how much depends on the make and model of the phone as well as its condition.

What people have been doing is throwing their old phones in the bin and when they end up in landfills, toxins such as cadmium, mercury and arsenic, poison the air, soil and surround water supplies.

With a vast proportion of these old phones being in fully working order, all you need to do to help the environment is to go to a mobile phone recycling (http://www.recyclemobilephones.co.uk) comparison site, like recyclemobilephones.co.uk, which saves you time and money when it comes to getting you the best deal. You will then see a list of prices that various recycling companies will give for your phone. You just then pick the deal you want and complete the form and you should receive details of where to send the phone to in this process.

Why Is Recycling Important?

Mobile phone technology is a fast growing concept which is sweeping the world we live in, and due to the fast rate of new phones hitting the markets, old phones are piling up by the day and being left unused. Leaving mobile phones unused can seriously damage the environment as they release toxins, so mobile phone recycling is a great way to prevent this from happening. 

So What Happens To These Old Phones?

Old phones are refurbished and shipped to developing countries and reused

Refurbished phones are re-sold, giving them a new life and reducing the need for the manufacture of new phones which benefits the environment

Old phones are used to make new ones – benefitting the environment by eliminating the need for new parts manufacture.
