Logo for Recycle Your Cell Phone.  It's an Easy Call
Cell phones and accessories are made from valuable resources such as precious metals, copper, and plastics - all of which require energy to extract and manufacture. Recycling cell phones reduces greenhouse gas emissions, keeps valuable material out of landfills and incinerators, and conserves natural resources. Recycle your cell phone - drop it off or mail it in!
