Recycle Old Cell Phones
50 million wireless phones are purchased over the holiday season according to ReCellular. That also means a lot of old phones are thrown out. Many people would like to recycle them but may not know how to go about it.
Verizon also has a national recycling program called “Call2Recycle™” that will take your rechargeable batteries and recycle them. Richard Karn or “Al” from Home Improvement is the spokesperson for Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC).
I’m not big on cell phones but my older kids and husband are into them. I suppose they come in handy for emergencies but they’re not my ideal present. It’s funny how people buy you what they would actually want. I received a couple of cell phones over the years and my family ended up taking them over. I need to keep that in mind and make sure I know what everyone else would like and use.
