Wirefly.org Recycling News

Expect to see the topic of cell phone recycling in the news even more in the near future. The rate at which cell phones are being replaced each year is extraordinary (due largely to Wireless Local Number Portability, and thanks to sites like Wirefly.com that offer tremendous deals on new phones). That fact, together with a trend of local governments and communities recognizing the problems of toxic seepage, will ensure that awareness about e-waste will increase. Stay up to date on the latest cell phone recycling news here at www.wirefly.org.
