All The Latest Cell Phone, Gadget and Tech News

The setup may be something familiar but the bottom-line is hitting two birds with one stone. With the rampant replacement of old phones in lieu of the new ones, CollectAPhone’s efforts may yet offer some light to the growing problem of e-waste. And you can be part of that by cleaning up your closet with your old phone which is normally left out somewhere to rot.
Old phones are practically worthless unless you can get some salvage value for them. But as far as re-selling them, you know that you will not get a fair amount. So with that in mind, why not do something useful such as recycle them and help out some poor soul through CollectAPhone?
Such is the intent of CollectAPhone. They are doing you a favor and in turn they will donate cash to non-profit organizations for each phone collected. The type of phone does not matter. It is simply an act of goodwill to help bring down the growing problem of landfills and lend a helping hand as well to a worthy cause.
“We have made it our responsibility,” said Mendel Mendelovits, Founder of CollectAPhone, ”to ensure that these phones do not end up damaging our planet. Our goal is to save 1,000,000 phones this year.”
