If you have an phone or two hidden away at the back of the drawer, have you thought of the benefits of recycling it? You might help the environment and phone pocket in one go!

Many people have not yet realised the advantages of phone recycling. But, there are plenty of reasons for you to discover for yourself why you should be recycling that mobile.

When you have finished with phone phone and replaced it with the latest model, all is not lost for that mobile phone. There are parts of the internal workings of mobile phone that could be recycled and reused by the manufacturers and there are web sites that are willing to pay you for the phone to get at these parts. So, even though mobile phone is broken, falling apart and no longer working, it might still have a few value.

At the same time as helping the environment by reusing parts instead of adding to the pile of waste in a landfill site, you are also getting paid for the phone and this is putting cash in mobile pocket. How much depends on the age and make of the phone, but it is worth looking into!

Call into one of the lots of phone recycling websites and find out what mobile mobile is now worth. You might get a surprise! There are even web sites that you can use that will compare the prices on offer across different recycling web sites!

But, if these prices are not good enough for you, then there are options. Having said that, for a relatively modern phone the prices on the recycling sites can be very tempting.

If you have an Ebay account, you can also try to auction the phone there. I have done this and managed to raise quite a respectable cost, through a bidding war that broke out on a very mobile phone model of mobile phone, just before the auction closed. But I was lucky, it was a popular handset (in its time) and along with the handset I still had all of the accessories, including quite a good working battery. This was probably cause enough for someone to want to buy it to keep their own cherished phone on the go.

Failing all of this if you only want to recycle it quickly and simply, you can only be generous and donate the phone to charity and they will then take it to wherever will recycle if for the best price, using the elements of the mobile phone or refurbishing the mobile phone. So you are helping the environment and also a favourite charity.

Personally, if you are recycling mobile phone, selling it via Ebay or donating it to charity, before you part with it I would plug it into the wall and go through phone book, removing entries and also clear out all SMS messages, pictures and so on. Merely in case the person getting it gets hold of these and then gets up to some mischief! I would also suggest not sending the present SIM card with the mobile phone when you dispose of it, for safety!
