Ever wondered why you should recycle your old mobile phones?

Mobile phones contain hazardous materials such as arsenic, which can pollute the environment if disposed of inproperly. Also containing non-renewable metals such as gold, silver, copper, aluminum, nickel and zinc, recycling mobile phones could avoid damages caused by further strip-mining required to create new handsets. With today's method of strip-mining, collecting one ounce of gold can generate 79 tonnes of toxic waste! With many mobile recycling companies offering cash for old mobiles, getting money back for helping recycle old mobile phones couldn't be easier!
