Why recycle your cell phones with us?

We hope to give you the opportunity to get rid of your phones the right way. Although we cannot eliminate e-waste, we offer you the chance to extend the life cycle of your old phones.

Our goal is to be as environmentally sound as we can be and that means giving as many phones as we can a second or third life. However, some phones are beyond repair. For those phones that cannot be re-used we make sure that they are recycled responsibly. We work with WeRecycle!, a New York based electronics-recycling plant. They are part of the Basel Action Network’s e-Stewards Initiative and have pledged to only use globally responsible and safe means to process e-waste. They also promise that no equipment or hazardous materials are sent to landfills or exported to lesser-developed countries or prisons for disassembly.

How is e-waste bad for the environment?

Electronic waste contains some very toxic substances, such as mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, beryllium and brominated flame retardants. When the latter are burned at low temperatures they create additional toxins, such as halogenated dioxins and furans – some of the most toxic substances known to mankind. Not only do these toxins present risks to communities and the global ecosystem, but also to electronics recycling workers, even in developed countries. It is estimated that an incredibly small percentage of e-waste is recycled. According to the Basel Action Network, as little as 11-14% of e-waste in America is recycled. The remainder is dumped or burned in formal or informal landfills, dangerously contaminating our environment. Each year new landfills are opened to handle the growing amounts of electronic garbage being thrown out.
