Why Recycle Your Cell Phone?

Your cell phone is built with a wide array of metals, which become toxic when they are not properly recycled.  Like computers and other technical equipment, their contents can cause pollution in landfills and create unhealthy living conditions for people living nearby. Most of us are unaware of this because e-waste is often shipped overseas for other countries to deal with...and is usually done so illegally. 

How You Can Help With the E-Waste Problem

1. Get out of the newer, bigger, better cycle...a little delayed gratification before we run out and get a new toy is hands down the best eco-friendly practice.
2. Always recycle old equipment and cell phones so that metals are recovered (preventing the need for further destructive mining)
3. Recycle equipment through reputable, third-party verified recyclers who will not ship our waste to overseas landfills; but will properly manage and recycle it here. Green Diva collects cell phones from customers on behalf of the non-profit team Earthworks/Collective Good. We earn zero income or profit for this. Just follow the instructions below to recycle your cell phone and earn a $15 credit. To find trustworthy recyclers of other types of electronic equipment, go here.
