Recycle Those Ringing Mobiles
It is not a secret that almost every person now owns a mobile phone. Well, almost all people who live in countries where mobile phones are sold in the market. Anyhow, the thing is, there are plenty of mobile phones in the market and almost every week, we get to see new units and new models and new features and the whole lot.
We get attracted to new phones and we forget about the old ones. Most of the time, we leave our old mobile phones lying in an old cabinet gathering dust. And that is despite that mobile phone can still be used by other people.
Now if you leave in New Zealand though, you would be able to help recycle old mobile phones. And students in the mentioned country are joining in the cause. They are collecting old units and they have two big companies like Telecom and Vodafone helping them out.
Way to go!

I agree that mobile phone recycling is an important issue. There are many options available for people to reuse and recycle their old phone, some of which can also generate money for charities. I wrote an article explaining the importance of mobile phone recycling a couple of month ago which may be of interest to you:
