What is the difference between recycling a phone and re-using it?
A re-used phone is the highest form of recycling. Personal information is removed and the phone is packaged and sold to someone who cannot afford a new phone. Recycling a phone means that the phone is taken apart and the metals, plastics and components are separated and melted down to make other products, such as playground equipment. Both are environmentally friendly ways to handle your old phone.
