How do you recycle cell phones?
Passing your old phones on to family or friends is the simplest method of recycling. The majority of the phones we discard for an updated model or after switching service providers remain completely usable and functional. If you give it to a friend or family member, you'll be sure that the phone will have an additional year or two of use. However, this merely stretches out the phone's life cycle. You can help the environment by telling the person receiving the phone to recycle it properly when the time comes.
You can actually return your old cell phones to the manufacturer for recycling. The leading US service providers and manufacturers such as Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint have cell phone take-back programs with free shipping and/or discounts in subsequent purchases. They'll ensure that the phones are refurbished or recycled in an environmentally safe manner. The companies receive a steady flow of recycled materials for producing new things while you ensure that your old phones are recycled safely and you receive discounts as well.

The company usually sends you the check within 4 business days of receiving your package.
