Why should people recycle their cell phone(s)?
There are over 150 million cell phones in use in the United States. According to an EPA financed study, by the year 2005 there will be 700 million ‘retired’ cell phones in this country and of these more than 70% will be in drawers in homes and businesses. Cell phones and their accessories contain many toxic substances such as arsenic, antimony, cadmium, cobalt, copper, lead and zinc. Some of these hazardous substances, like cadmium, pose serious threats to the environment and public health. By teaming with ECO-CELL, you can be assured that all of the cell phones and accessories you collect will be reused or properly recycled.
