Properly Recycling Cell Phones

Do you also feel clueless every time you think about your old cell phone lying in your drawer?

If you just said yes, my friend, you are not alone. We all switch to new cell phones almost every year but do not pay much attention to the old ones that can no longer be used.

Being a threat to the environment, old cell phones and their battery should not be kept unused for too long. So what is the option?

Well, we guess you are aware of how there are many ways to recycle old cell phones. But do you know how exactly this takes place? Are there any options available if you want to give away your old phone for recycling?

How to recycle old cell phones?

While there are many options available to recycle old cell phones, we would recommend you to only adopt reliable and verified means.

Here are two most commonly adopted methods to recycle old cell phones –

Takeaway programs and Trade-Ins

There are many organizations that support the donation and recycling of electronic devices, most commonly, cell phones. Most of these organizations offer programs to let people give away their older cell phones that are still in working condition. They actively accept even cell phones that are not eligible for recycling, either through their physical branches or through the post. While other organizations may have their policies, it is always worthy to go ahead and ask.

In addition to this, a lot of manufacturers also accept old phones through their programs. Some famous examples of this category include Apple and Samsung. These companies have their Trade-in that accepts the eligible order phones. They also provide free poster recycling services for all devices without additional trade-in value. This makes it easier for customers to contribute to the cause and motivates them to take active participation.

Drop-off websites and portals

Another way to recycle old cell phones is to enroll in recycling programs that accept all types of cell phones and batteries regardless of their specifications. MGL Cash is one such platform that provides phone trade-in solutions by teaming up with the UPS store. The procedure to sign up for this is also extremely easy.

Here are the next steps –

• Visit the website

• Fill the questionnaire

• Receive your unique QR code

• Turn off location settings in your phone and disconnect all Google accounts on the device.

• Visit the UPS store. Make sure that you also carry a separate working device where you will receive your payment offer through mail or text message.

• Show the QR code to the UPS store executive

• Let the representative do a final inspection of your phone and verify its unique ID.

• Once the final inspection is done, you will receive your payment offer through a message. You can either accept or reject the offer.
