Mobile phone recycling is the latest trend in environment protection that has emerged over the last few years.

Electronic waste accumulation, as a result of millions of mobile phones being dumped, is a growing problem across the world. Almost all mobile phones that are reaching the end of their utility contain valuable and reusable materials. When you recycle your phone,its components can be re-utilised as valuable materials for reuse and repair. This in turn means that fewer raw materials and minerals need to be extracted and processed to make parts for new or existing mobile phones.

But mobile phones and its accessories can’t be recycled in your general waste bins. This is because these electronic components are non-biodegradable. Hence, they should not be disposed off like regular garbage as they contain harmful substances which, if not managed properly, could damage the environment. But the good news is that mobile phones are highly recyclable.

You can re-use your old mobile phone bypassing it on to friends and family who are in need of one.But if the mobile phone is too old and is no longer wanted,or if it has stopped working then it is time to recycle it. One of the best methods to recycle a broken mobile phone is to sell it through a reliable online sales platform like Mobile Guru Australia.
