Do you recycle your phone?

[Country lover]

We should all be recycling anything electrical ... phones, computers, etc .. the world only has so many resources and dumping them in landfill is just shameful really.

I do use my phone but only replaced my old one recently simply because I wanted a digital camera for my travels so rather than have two pieces of equipment to lug around I got a phone & digi cam in one .. my old phone was given to a friend to use.

Great thread, thanks.

I have never had a mobile phone and do not ever want one. Aaah people say they are sooooooooo useful in an emergency. I live in the bottom of a valley and half the time there is no reception any way. Therefore do not have to recycle them.

I have only replaced my phone once. The old one went to the RSPB.

I am a member of the RSPB and they sent me envelopes to recycle my old phone. I went and collected phones off my nieces and nephews when they upgraded their old ones.

I freecycle ours if there is any life in them, or donate to a charity if they are beyond use. I tend to use a phone until it dies on me, long after it has gone out of circulation, as it takes me about a year to memorise a number, so I hang on to them. I like texting - they don't make that many which are good for texting. I just don't understand why people want to upgrade them so often.
