Cellphones
There are currently over 200 million wireless subscribers in the United States.
The average life of a new cell phone is 9 to 18 months.
Recycling the phones ensures that the toxic materials in the phones don't end up in our landfills and groundwater. Continued recycling and reuse of cell phones substantially reduces the number of phones manufactured each year. This also reduces the demand for precious metals collected through environmentally destructive mineral mining.
