Mobile phones are probably one of the things that people cannot live without these days. Granted, there are those that do not need mobile phones, these people are most likely the ones who live in impoverished countries wherein they cannot afford such and seldom do you find people in developing and industrialized countries wherein they do not own a mobile phone. That said, mobile phones have become a part of our daily lives.

Yet, there is also the fact that the one thing that we need to have these days is also the one thing that puts the world as we know it in great peril in danger. Why? This is because of the fact that mobile phones contain so much chemicals that if ever you threw it to your garbage bin or somewhere carelessly, you have potentially thrown something that could last in the environment for years, damaging it slowly, and filling the landfills with more toxic waste.

This is the reason why most governments and mobile phone manufacturers have taken a step forward in making sure that mobile phones are disposed of properly these days, and if and ever you happen to have done that, then, good for you. However, if you haven't and still do not find any reason why you should do so, then, I do advise you to read throw the reasons listed below as to why it is a good idea to recycle your good old mobile phone.

Mobile phone manufacturers could care less if your mobile phone is working or not. What they want is for you to turn over your mobile phone in exchange for something that could be beneficial to you, which, in most cases would be a discount voucher or a free item or accessory for your phone.

That simple recycling deed of yours goes a long way in saving the planet and making it a better place to live in for the future generations. Besides, it also helps if landfills have to deal with less rubbish and that less poisonous and toxic content are thrown away. If your mobile phone is still working and in working condition, mobile phone companies may donate it to charitable institutions, which in turn gives these phones to people whom have no access to such devices or money to buy even a refurbished one.

In most cases, charitable institutions will be the ones who will be making use of your phone, especially if it is still in good working condition. They usually give it to people that need them and yet have no means of buying one, especially those who live in impoverished countries.
