Overview
The average American buys a new cell phone every 12 months, which means more
than one hundred million working phones become unused every year. GoWireless' GoGreen
Recycling Program provides an easy way for consumers and businesses to make sure
that these phones get recycled properly by offering store credit for them and then
transporting them to the proper facilities. It has never been this easy to be green!
Why Recycle?
Fewer than 20 percent of cell phones are recycled each year and most people
do not know where to recycle them. Recycling cell phones results in significant
environmental savings. Cell phones and accessories are made from valuable resources
such as precious metals, copper, and plastics - all of which require energy to mine,
extract and manufacture. Recycling cell phones reduces greenhouse gas emissions,
keeps valuable material out of landfills and incinerators, and conserves natural
resources. Recycling just a million cell phones reduces greenhouse gas emissions
equal to taking 1,368 cars off the road for a year.
