Lee Have you considered a cell
phone recycling program?
Do
you have old cell phones lying around?
Do you have old phones that are
in reasonably good condition
so you've hesitated throwing them out, because after all they work just
fine and you figure one day you or a friend might want it? If
you're
like me, you've got old phones just sitting around. You
upgrade your phone when a new cooler phone
comes out for a good price, or a friend or family gives you a new phone
as a gift. You're so excited about your new gadget that cell
phone recycling doesn't cross your mind!Many of the phones I have are old enough (or at least not state of the art enough!) that my friends and family aren't interested in using them. So for the longest time they've just sat around my house in a box. Too good to simply throw in the trash, and too old to appeal to me to use. Or maybe you have old phones that just don't work anymore, and something within you knows that you shouldn't just throw them in the trash. But on the other hand, you never seem to have the time to find a cell phone recycling program...? Well, now you can easily Get Cash for Your Old Cell Phones and help the environment too! Gazelle is a company that makes it so easy. In fact, you can Cash In Your Old Gadgets as well, including mp3 players, laptops, game consoles and more. Here are the basic steps:
The great thing is that if it's in working condition, they'll remove all personal data and resell your used cell phone or gadget. Also, items without market value can be sent in and recyled responsibly. It's a win win all around! There's another cell phone recycling program, PhoneIsCash, that I've used in the past that is similar, however, they focus only on cell phones and iPods, and it must be in good working condition. While they don't pay for shipping the phone to them, they offer very good value. Just select your phone make and model and they'll tell you how much it's worth. My only advice to you is to check the site immediately upon having a phone you no longer want. They're constantly changing the prices as new phones come out. I saw a phone I had to sell drop from $150 to $75 in a matter of a few weeks (fortunately I sold it at the higher amount!). Some phones aren't worth anything at all if they're just too old. So check the site and act quickly as soon as you're ready to part with it. I was a little hesitant at first because I was worried that I'd send it my phone and never see the money or phone again. So I waited for a friend of mine to try it, and after he had no problems, I tried it, and now I'm a believer. I recommend checking both Gazelle and PhoneIsCash to see which has the better offer. They say "Get Green, Be Green"...I like it!
