This past weekend as I exited the Embarcadero train station here in San Francisco, I noticed this ginormous cell phone recycling station. Upon further inspection (and research), I realized that LG has put up these Ecomobilize cell phone recycling bins in BART stations across the Bay Area to help combat the estimated 130 cell phones that will end up in US landfills this year.
I've already provided some simple ways to go green, but LG is making it really easy with their ecoMobilization movement because you can either drop off your phone, chargers, or accessories at one of these boxes, or text the word ECO to 57895 and reply to the text with your mailing addy. This way, a prepaid package will be delivered to your house so you can mail it away yourself and recycle your phone no matter where you live! Although I am hoping that the Ecomobilize bins pop up in subway stations across the country.

Cell phones for soldiers is also another way for you to recycle your cell phone and chargers as well. They have drop off locations and you can also download your own postage paid label to affix and send in. And its tax deductable!

Most definitely! We've talked about the Cell Phones for Soldiers recycling program before: http://www.geeksugar.com/1113576
2www.RecycleItAmerica.com is another great program - and you may even get some $$ for your items. Prepaid shipping labels right from the website. You can recycle phones, computers, ipods, cameras, camcorders and other items.
