Over a period of time, mobile phones that are purchased by an individual can become damaged or simply discarded via an upgrade option all phone companies provide towards delivering a more up-to-date handset to use for all respective uses. With advancements within mobile and phone technology in continual progression, many mobile phones are produced and then practically rendered obsolete by a more updated model which provides an individual with higher specifications via graphics and output quality. In this scenario, most individuals store old mobile phones in a drawer to act as a back-up solution in case the prime handset encounters any damage or technical fault.
Due to the hazardous materials and valuable metals used in the production of each mobile phone, it is highly unadvisable to simply throw old phones in the bin as dangerous chemicals emitted from scrap production damages the environment. Additionally, metals such as gold and nickel become scarcer due to the existence of unused phones. Taking the decision to recycle my mobile phone is not only beneficial for the environment and the existence of valuable metals, but also individuals receive cash for phones as an incentive for safely distributing old mobile phones for recycle.
Although the amount is variable upon the age of the handset in terms of its year of production, it is beneficial for individuals to earn money through their old mobile phone towards being able to afford other items or products of personal choice. Therefore, the most up-to-date models of mobile phones on the market command the most interest in terms of cash for phones, both for the individual and mobile phone recycling company who ensure all handsets do not go to landfill. Such phones command a sizeable re-sale value that can only be beneficial to both financial and moral values to reduce emission levels, while recycling companies value the high number of valuable materials that can be recycled and maintained, thus eradicating the need to use dangerous chemicals to produce raw materials that are already on the decline.
For the aforementioned reasons, choosing to recycle my mobile phone is guaranteed to not only ensure an individual is helping the environment and existence of valuable materials, but also generate a return in money to provide spending money towards something special.
