It is much better for your wallet and the planet to get several years use out of a cell phone before trading it in.


"If each of us recycled ONE mobile phone, we would save as much energy and pollution as taking 4 million cars off our roads"

If a phone/gadget is broken, its working parts are removed. "New" gadgets are eventually assembled from the usable parts of different gadgets.
