recycling old cell phones?

Does anyone have a good resource to do this? I tried taking them into my provider's store and they don't accept them because they had a couple of instances where ppl changed their mind and wanted their old phones back. wtf?

Anyway, the two that I have don't work.. so I know that narrows my options.

Re: recycling old cell phones?

  • Do you have a local shelter or woman's home near you?  We always donate our old cell phones to the YWCA and they refurbish them and give them to women in need.

  • You can donate it to a local women's shelter.  Be sure to donate the charger, also (and accessories, if desired).  If you mail it in (like to Petco), then you can include the charger and i think they refurbish/sell them or part them out as appropriate (not sure, though).

  • I just realized you said they don't work.  I'd try petco... the proceeds go toward their pet adoption (i.e., shelter) program.  I think you can get mailers at the store or print postage from their website.

  • Since they don't work, Whole Foods recycles them, there's a bin right by the front door.
