Getting cash for your old cell phone

There are many companies that have popped up in the last couple of years who will purchase your old cell phones for hard cash. With continuous upgrades offered by mobile service providers and new slick and state of the art models coming on the market almost daily, the number of mobile phones left unused in boxes and drawers around our houses is estimated to be at an all time high.

Certain cell phone recycling companies specialise in recycling and reusing old cell phones, and will buy old cells for cash if they think they can sell them on. Even if your cell isn’t actually worth anything, be it broken or simply too old to have any value, recycling services are often offered free of charge. Using their services is straightforward and the whole process can take as little as a few days and all postage costs are covered, you won’t even have to pay for packaging.

A far better option than simply throwing a broken cell out or keeping it in a drawer never to see daylight again, recycling can reclaim up to 80% of the materials in a cell phone and process them for reuse. This not only reduces the demand on the Earth’s finite natural resources, but also prevents the many harmful materials used in the components of cell phones from escaping into the environment. Reused and reconditioned phones are sold on in the developing world, especially to markets in Africa and South America.
