Recycling your Cell Phone
July 26th, 2007 at 07:04 pm by bibi in General, Green Action, Green LivingDid you know that you can recycle your Cell Phone?
Most of us upgrade our Cell Phones every couple of years. What happens to those phones?
Most end up tucked away somewhere for months until we decide to clear up the clutter in our homes, and then we end up taking the chip out of the phone and throwing it in the garbage.
Did you know?… “These devices can leak Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic and other toxic substances into the water supply. Municipalities often incinerate their waste, instantly putting these toxic elements into the air, and they return to earth in rain water. Since life on Earth depends on water, the threat is clear.” CollectiveGood
Now you can recycle your mobile phones, pagers or PDAs through Earth Share’s partnership with the CollectiveGood Mobile Phone Recycling Program! It’s free, easy to use, and you will be helping to support a healthier environment. Depending upon the phone model, a fixed amount per phone will be donated to Earth Share. ** PLUS, free shipping is continued - for a limited time only!

A small amount of water containing “small amounts of radioactive material” leaked in to the ocean. According to Tokyo Electric the amount of radioactive material was far below the levels that would affect the environment.
