We love putting together PC Kits, building computers, laptops and speculating on the next best thing. We wanted to take a moment to pause and recognize the importance of recycling electronic parts and equipment. It is Saint Patrick’s Day which is mostly a day of celebration, drinking and luck. While people are taking a moment to celebrate, we thought we would make a pitch for recycling but with a little spin. This is recycling for cash. Why not? Take that old cell phone and turn in into some green beer for Saint Patrick’s Day!
In all seriousness, recycling electronic equipment is one of the least recognized forms of recycling yet most electronic equipment has toxic metals that are terrible for the environment and are recyclable. So, let us get down to how to sell cell phones. We have been asked to review http://sellcell.com and they offer very competitive rates for your old cell phones. You could get $45 for your old blackberry curve (since we know many blackberry users are either switching to I-Phones or picking up I-Pads). If you are upgrading your I-Phone and happen to have a 3rd Generation Network 8 Gigabyte phone, you could get up to $105 at the moment.
The website is well organized and sorts the cell phones by most popular cell phones, most valuable cell phones and recent sales, Those categories give you a nice overview of what is on the market and pricing available. Just the same, we really encourage the recycling of your phone regardless of price. So, if you can get any money for your phone, great! But, even if you have a throw away, please take some time and find a local cell recycling center. It is just like recycling any other material like plastic, aluminum, and glass. It is great for the environment and that is good for us all. Although, it would be nice to get a little cash in the process! Best of luck recycling your phone for money!
