How many of you got that new cell phone you wanted for Christmas? New laptop, GPS, hand held gaming system? What do you do with the old one? Why not recycle it?

Bring us your old cell phones, GPS, iPods/MP3 players, lap tops, digital cameras, ink jet cartridges, and broken gold jewelry to be recycled.

The production of consumer electronics (cell phones, laptops, iPods, etc.) and jewelry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.) directly and negatively impacts the environment. Every phase in the life cycle of these products, from raw material extraction all the way to their end-of-life management, involves environmental degradation. For example, during the extraction phase, raw materials such as rare metals must be mined from the earth, refined, transported and manufactured into products such as jewelry, cell phones, laptops, and other consumer electronics. Each of these phases uses tremendous amounts of energy. When products such as these reach the end of their useful lives, the best choice is to properly and safely recycle them. That's where you can make a difference.

  1. This is a neat idea. I think I have a stash of old cell phones around here somewhere...
