If your a techie then you’re likely someone who needs to get the newest and latest phone. Nothing wrong with that, but what do you do with your old phone? Did you know that mobile phones contain harmful chemicals which can adversely effect the environment. There are some serious considerations you must make when disposing of old phones, and I really want to encourage you to not just toss them in the garbage. There’s much awareness these days about ewaste and recycling programs in most urban areas. Here’s another option, sell your old mobile online. Did you know that the iPhone contains several chemical components, including bromine, chlorine, and phthalates, all of which are potentially toxic.
Would you believe you can get cash for your old phone?
Mobile phone recycling is something responsible people should consider, and now it even benefits you. Trade in your old mobile phones online for cash. Not only will you receive cash for your phones but you will also be helping the environment. So I encourage you to do your part, and find out if you can make some quick cash for that old phone. How many of us have old mobile phones sitting in a drawer somewhere? I know I do, and even as I write this I’m trying to remember where they might be, which drawer did I put those in? Perhaps I can take the cash from my old phones to put towards an upgrade, now there’s an idea! You can quickly get a list of offers from potential buyers at sellyouroldmobile.info so why not take a look?

Of course, selling them or trading them for better ones is a good idea. In my case, all my previous mobile phones were either stolen or I lost them. So, nothing to sell or even trade.

Yeah I suspect a large number of people have to upgrade because of stolen/lost or damaged phones, of course in that case… nothing gained. Thanks for your comment!

Dan,
Interesting post! We don’t often think about what happens to stuff we are tired of, do we? I usually donate my old cell phones to a local charity that supplies them to womens shelters but this year I actually sold mine using a different online service. While I loved getting over $250 (I sold an iPhone and a Blackberry) I did feel a twinge of guilt for not recycling them to someone in need. But I have more in a drawer just like you so I may donate those. Thanks for bringing up this important issue and how easy it is to keep those harmful chemicals from affecting the planet.

Well thanks for the positive comment Allegra. I agree with your perspective completely – I used to work for a nonprofit and spent a lot of time seeking donations, I appreciate the joy a person experiences when they receive something from someone in a circumstance like that. Sure does feel good to give.

Thanks man! What more can I say. I admit it was a sponsored post that I got paid to write, but I only take offers like that if I agree with the post or company, and think it fits my niche… for that reason I can get away with posts like this without bugging people.

[…] Are you taking your business in a green direction? Are you being environmentally conscious? Some of the best green business ideas of 2010 were focused on waste reduction, clean energy sources, hybrid vehicles and perhaps one of the most tangible ideas for all of us, illumination. In 2009, Purdue University attained a significant breakthrough in lowering the cost of LEDs, and in 2010 these bulbs went on the market for home and business use. While the cost is still high, the price along with the length of bulb life and energy savings is comparable to most compact fluorescent bulbs. So why am I writing about this? Many faithful info carnivore readers will know that being green is a topic that I often write about, particularly when it comes to green technology issues. You can read some of my thoughts on recycling of electronics, here.
