increasingly important.&nbsp; Of course, we should never throw them away; cell phones are e-waste \u2013 toxic waste \u2013 and can cause a lot of damage if not disposed of properly.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few different ways to recycle your cell phone: donate it to charity, give it to a family member, sell it online, sell it to a friend, trade it in towards a new cell phone, or use a site such as Sell Cell to find a recycler buyer for it.&nbsp; The goal is to not throw it away but dispose of it in a way that ensures the cell phone goes on to a new life, either as a whole or via its parts.<\/p>\n<p>With Sell Cell, we help you find the best money for your cell phone. &nbsp;Recyclers tend to offer better prices than you can get from stores or even through selling to a friend.&nbsp; For most cell phones, recyclers also pay more than you would get at auction.&nbsp; With Sell Cell, you can peruse the offers and select the best one for you.&nbsp; Recycling your cell phone is easy; the recycler does most of the work for you.&nbsp; Payment is usually within a matter of days of receipt.<\/p>\n<p>What you do with your old cell phone is up to you.&nbsp; If you need us, we are here.&nbsp; But whatever method you chose, make it an environmentally responsible one.&nbsp; After all, while you can exchange your phone for a better one, there\u2019s no exchanging the planet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the number of cell phone users rises in the USA, the way we dispose of our old cells
