Cellular Phones

Cellular phone usage has increased dramatically in the past few years and continues to grow daily. The average cell phone user uses a phone for about 18 months before replacing it. With millions of cell phone users, this leads to millions of cell phones being disposed of, at times into the landfill. Cell phones contain lead and mercury, along with other toxins, that will eventually leak out into the landfill. Broken cell phones can be recycled, and some parts salvaged, and working cell phones can be reused or donated to various charities. Please contact the individual service provider for more detailed information.
