New Lives for Old Phones
When a new mobile phone starts to be sold in stores, many people rush out to buy one. We all want the newest, latest thing.
Mike Townsend works at Total Recall, a mobile phone recycling company. "Don't throw your old phone away. If you throw it away, it goes with other rubbish to become landfill. In other words, it is put in a big hole in the ground-and it becomes a big problem," he says.
Mobile phones contain some poisonous materials. If your phone goes to a landfill, these poisonous materials can get out and get into the water under the ground. That's the water we need to drink or water goes into rivers or the ocean. That's a lot of landfill and a lot of poisonous materials.
"At Total Recall, we separate the old phones into pieces. Most of the materials in the mobile phones can be recycled and used again. For example, phone batteries contain nickel and cadmium. The nickel is used to make steel, and the cadmium can be used to make new batteries," explains Mike.
"You can usually just take it into a mobile phone shop and they will send it to us," says Mike.
So before you throw that old mobile phone away, use it one last time: search for a recycler near you and give them a call.
A. Send it to us and we'll recycle it.
B. Recycling your old phone is easy.
C. How much is your old mobile phone worth?
