Where Do Old Cell Phones Go When They Die?
This is an age-old question; “Where do we go when we die?” Today we give this question a twist and ask ourselves; ”Where do used cell phones go when they die?”
The first and best answer would be that they get fixed and reused. Used cell phones can be fixed up, also known as being refurbished, and then there are people who make a business out of selling used cell phones. This is great for people who don’t need the latest and greatest gadgets and just need a used mobile phone for talking and texting. It is also advantageous to our land and waterways because when old cell phones die and are placed in the garbage, the batteries and other components damage the soil. This damaged soil eventually finds its way to waterways such as rivers, stream or the ocean and pollutes water needed for life.
Although not all used cell phone stores are able to advertise, it isn’t difficult to locate them. Look on the web or at your local mall. Usually there are stores, kiosks and online retailers such as onecellular.com that specialize in the sale of used mobile phone. “Used Cell Phones for Sale” is a phrase to look for when trying to find a place for your second hand phone.
Being responsible about our environment can be good for our economy, too. Nearly everyone has a cell phone these days whether it is a brand new cell phone, a second hand cell phone from a friend, a used cell phone for sale from a local business or a refurbished cell phone from their cell phone carrier. This is beneficial in terms of economics for children’s phones, grandparent’s phones and anyone who doesn’t have several hundred dollars to purchase a brand new phone. The economy is still producing goods and money is changing hands but people purchasing used cell phones are financially smart and can use their money for savings, investing or other purchasing. This allows the purchaser of the used cell phone and the economy as a whole to get more bang for their buck.
If you don’t want to go to the trouble of locating a used cell phone store, donate your phone to a good cause. Often, groups collect old cell phones and have cell phone refurbishing stores fix them up for soldiers overseas.
Other groups collect used cell phones from individuals and sell the phones to a local used cell phone store to raise money for their cause. This profits everyone in the long run, so go find that old cell phone and help a good cause while protecting our planet!
