Speaking of cell phones, it seems like every time I change cell phone plans, I change cell phones. I can't help it. They offer 'new and improved' and fantastic rebates. So what have I been doing with my old cell phones? I've been donating them to charities.
I was amazed to find so many programs out there which will recycle cell phones and accessories. Many will pay the shipping if you to box up and mail your cell phones and assessories. Even the one I killed (I dropped it in the toilet). ((Yes I reached in and grabbed it as quick as I could but it was too late. I know YUK!)) Anyway that one was recycled, too. It helped buy rain forest land in the Amazon.
