Nokia Now Offers Free Cell Phone Recycling

by Ashley Schiller

The average cell phone life is only 18 months. Many obsolete phones find their final resting place in a landfill, where hazardous chemicals pose a threat to the environment.

Nokia’s new We: Recycle Program allows consumers to send in old cell phones to be properly recycled. The company mails the donor a prepaid envelope so the process is completely cost-free.

Many other cell phone companies offer similar take-back options.

For a local alternative, go to Earth 911’s recycling locator to find a local recycling option.
