| Recycle your old cell phones, save a tree.

Punch in your Postal Code, and it'll tell you where you can drop off your old cells, chargers, etc. instead of dropping them in the trash.
I'm surprised the government didn't pull this off earlier. Time to dig out the drawer of old/dead phones.. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-col...e-program.html

How does recycling a cell phone save a tree?

Oh. Well, it's news to me. Maybe you can sticky it somewhere? Then RS can save a few more trees.  | |

Just to give another option, you can trade in your phone at Best Buy for a gift card. Depends on the phone how much credit you get.

The box of phones I have are all ancient. We're talking about Nokia 5100 + roaming puck (you needed a puck back then!?), 3390, Motorola V60.. Quote:
