What Happens to My Cell Phone?

Cell phones recycled through the Recycle My Cell Phone campaign don't see the inside of one of these.

EARTHWORKS has teamed up with e-Steward recyclers to refurbish or recycle your cell phone while following the highest environmental and social standards.

We recycle everything. The phones, their batteries, chargers, accessories -- even the boxes.

Most of the phones and accessories received can be refurbished, reset, and reused.

If a phone is broken, its working parts are removed. "New" phones are eventually assembled from the usable parts of different phones.

All unusable materials and batteries are sent to EPA-certified partners who dispose of them in a way that is not harmful to the environment.

For more detailed information about our commitment to the environment please see our environmental principles.
