CTIA Celebrates America Recycles Day 2006 November 15
Today, CTIA-The Wireless Associationand its member companies will mark America Recycles Day 2006 by reminding wireless consumers to recycle their used wireless products in an environmentally sound manner. [Press release]
All of the major national wireless carriers, as well as many regional and local carriers, have programs in place to recycle retired wireless equipment.
You can recycle your wireless device through drop-off locations, mail back programs, through internet auction sites, or by donating it to charity.
Three things to remember before you recycle your wireless phone:
-- Terminate your service
-- Clear the phone's memory of contacts and other stored personal information using the data eraser tool from ReCellular at wirelessrecycling.com/home/data_eraser
-- Remove your phone's SIM card, if it has one.
