What is Wireless… The New Recyclable?
Wireless…The New Recyclable™ is a national, voluntary recycling program the wireless industry has implemented to facilitate environmentally sound practices among carriers and manufacturers for the production and take-back of wireless devices, as well as to encourage consumers to recycle their wireless devices. Participants in Wireless…The New Recyclable™ program have also implemented take-back programs and operate these programs in accordance with the industry’s guidelines for the collection, transportation and recycling/materials recovery of wireless devices. To the extent that some collected phones are refurbished and resold, refurbishing guidelines are provided to encourage refurbishers to perform their activities in a manner that is environmentally responsible and compliant with applicable regulations.
