There is also a great company out there called flipswap that will pay you for your old phone. You can check them out at flipswap(dot)com.
By the way, excellent video. It was actually shown at our last quarterly meeting to help us drive home the importance of recycling phones and other electronics. Way to go!! 2/6/2008 12:38:03 PMIl y va de notre survie, bravo de faire savoir ce qui se passe. Internet et son "illimitisme" en est responsable également, modérons nous. Limitons. Choisissons des alternatives faites pour durer

Such an important issue... 1/25/2008 4:57:05 PMI actually DO use them until they HAVE to be replaced! I'm too cheap! LOL! 1/25/2008 12:25:36 PMIt is complex. It is still advisable to get as many uses as possible over the life of a phone. Keep your current phone as long as you can. If you decide to get a new one go check out secret-life(dot)org for recycling information. We all have to keep the pressure up to ensure there are controls put in place that prevent dumping 'e-waste'... Check out the resources page on secret-life (dot) org for deeper information. And pass the site on! Everyone needs to understand this issue. 1/25/2008 12:22:02 PMThank you! 1/25/2008 11:00:17 AMGreat job. 1/25/2008 2:11:12 AMI save up my electronic equipment, and take it to the collection place, on a scheduled day.
