Why is it important to recycle cellphones?

Did you know that there are more than 400 million used cell phones in the hands of U.S. consumers at this moment? That is enough to create 64,000 tons of electronic waste. What does that mean for the environment?

Well, even if cell phones were biodegradeable, 64,000 tons is still an awful lot of trash. Cell phones, however, are not biodegradeable and when broken down into discrete elements they actually contain cadmium, arsenic, lead and mercury.

Landfills are created in such a way that these chemicals are not supposed to be able to leach into the soil, but even their simple presence is a threat to the environment. This is where SellyourCell.com comes in; our company provides a beneficial service to the environment by extending the lifespan of already produced items and preventing them from being disposed of improperly.

Our industry is somewhat unique in that for-profit companies like ours can grow while selling nothing to consumers, and instead, pay them to do the right thing.

The phrase "win-win situation" is certainly a bit overused these days, but we feel that it fits what we do perfectly.

So, tell your friends, neighbors, church, charity and co-workers about us. We are here to serve!
