Your old phones have had a good life, and now it's time to recycle them responsibly. Let's run through the steps.
You've already tried to breathe a second life into your old phone or tablet in an effort to stop it from heading to the junk pile, but alas, it's clearly on its way out. Let's make sure we give it a proper send-off to ensure it gets properly recycled.
How to recycle your phoneOnce you've followed these steps, your old phones will get ground up into dust, subjected to a range for sorting methods, doused in extractive chemicals, separated with magnets, and incinerated. This is all in an effort to pull out valuable metals like gold, silver, palladium, and platinum. With enough phones going through this process, those metals can be used again without needing to engage in harmful mining for virgin materials.
Step 2: Remove any peripherals, as wall as memory cards, SIM cards, cases, and batteries if you can. If the battery is removable, put tape over the contacts to avoid creating a circuit in transport. Step 4: If you've found a spot nearby, it's just a matter of getting out there and dropping off your phone or tablet.
