Cell Phone and Battery Recycling

For every million cellphones that are recycled, 35,274 pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold and 33 pounds of palladium can be recovered. – E.P.A.
By recycling cell phones, you are helping the environment through landfill reduction, keeping water clean, and reducing the demand for mining of new material and resources necessary to produce phones.
We at The Wireless Alliance accept environmental responsibility for our activities and processes. We are committed to sound environmental practices and the prevention of pollution.
The Wireless Alliance is also committed to protecting the environment by keeping wireless waste out of our landfills, and to the review and continual improvement of our EHSMS and activities to minimize impact on the environment.
