Recycling mobile phones was one of the first entries created on this blog.
But seeing as this is National Cell Phone Awareness week, I'm taking this opportunity to remind you of some other ways to reuse those handheld devices.
The EPA has lined up several big name partners, including AT&T, Samsung, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless that will offer promotions, contests or giveaways, along with easy in-store or online recycling opportunities. Other participants include Best Buy, LG Electronics, Motorola, Nokia, Office Depot, Sony Ericsson and Staples.
Find a cell phone recycling location near you.
Other ways to recycle the phone are as follows:
Cellphonesforsoldiers.com turn old cell phones into prepaid calling cards that members of the U.S. military overseas can use to reach family back home. The program works with Recellular.
Wirelessrecycling. A portion of the money generated by recycling your cell phone will go to a charity of your choice.
Eco-cell partners with conservation organizations so that nonprofits benefit from the donation of your used cell phone.

Day 32: Drop off paint and e-waste
Bring your old paint and electronic waste to the Arabella Station Whole Foods Market between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on the first Saturday of every month. Computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax machines are common electronic products.
My contribution: I'll make my first drop this Saturday. I have lots of leftover paint that's just cluttering the shed because I didn't know what to do with it.
