Cell Phone Options

What do you do with your old phone if you don’t want to give it to a relative or turn it in when you get a new one? One will wish to back up data, remove a SIM Card and Memory card, delete personal accounts, and conduct a factory reset. One should check certifications, data security, and environmental commitments. There are currently two accredited certifications recognized by the EPA for e-waste disposal and recycling – the Responsible Recycling Practices (R2) and the e-Stewards standards. Both certification programs share practices that ensure the responsible recycling and disposal of used electronic materials.
