Have you visited an ecoATM lately?
In Sacramento, Calif., there is a kiosk with an ecoATM. Drop in your old cell phone and the machine analyzes its condition and offers you cash back for the phone...on the spot. It is estimated there are over 800 million abandoned cell phones in the U.S. This is one approach to start dealing with the problem. Retailers are beginning to offer incentives for old electronic devices, and others are recycling them to be sold overseas in places like Africa, India, and Southeast Asia where there is high demand for used cheaper phones.CellphonesForSoldiers.com recycles used phones and sells them so they can offer our troops overseas free international phone-calling cards. Time to see how many old phones you have and consider recycling them.
