    we have the same problem in australia, we have not been able to convince retailers to offer a recycling / trade-in Programs. so instead we have done it alone with advertising direct to mobile phone customers.

    they charge for refurbished phones so they should give something back; sort of a refundable deposit like with beer bottles; i’m not returning my phones to them so they can turn around and make money on them again; they overcharge for everything as it is.

    Reuse is the highest form of recycling…

    In the past 12 years I have had 3 phones I don’t understand why some people have so many problems with them I think the problem is somewhere between their head and their hand.

    Im all for the environment however these companies are profiting off us recycling our cell phones. What I want to know is how I can extract the gold for myself from these old electronics. Why should I give my phone back to the company so they can reap the benefits?

  16. BlakeOBrien1 // Apr 11, 2011 at 5:12 pm

    I wish more people knew!

  17. RecoveryTTA // Apr 11, 2011 at 5:58 pm

    Yes some people have no idea that there cell phones or electronics can be recycled. The cost of company to recycle these is high as well. Profit has to be within volume of cellphones collected.

    I always resell my old phones.
