With mobile phone companies constantly coming up with new Blackberries, i-phones and other mobile phones, disposal of the old phones becomes a serious environmental issue. The only way to resolve this issue is mobile phone recycling.
When buried in landfills, a mobile phone can pose serious threats to our environment. Some of the components of mobile phones contain harmful substances like lead, mercury, cadmium, flame retardants and arsenic. When thrown into landfills these elements gradually leak out of the mobile phone unit and contaminate air and water. You can prevent these toxins contaminating the earth by recycling used mobile phones.
To help you recycle your old phones, many companies have come forward with eco-friendly recycling solutions. People across the globe have benefited a lot from their services and it is a great way to help out those in need.
So if you have an old mobile phone lying around in your home, let a mobile recycling company take care of it. For instance, Recycling Your IT takes your used phones and eradicates all the data in them before ensuring proper recycling. Some charities also take used mobile phones, refurbish them and resell them for use in developing countries. This way you are playing your part in bridging the digital divide by providing affordable devices of communication to the less fortunate.
