Mobile Phone Recycling and Environmental Sustainability

Learn about environmental sustainability standards at AT&T. We design products with the environment in mind, and use environmentally safe packaging. AT&T also works to recycle mobile phones that are donated in AT&T recycle bins across the country. AT&T donates all proceeds from recycling efforts go to charitable causes.

So What You are Saying is You sell a $300 phone to your Subscribers and by the end of their 2 Years or time for upgrade instead of giving them them cash value for their old phone you want to recycle the phone for your Benefit.

Better to let it be recycled as cheap garbage than burn it and turn it into pollution.

i never recycle because it ends up being used to make cheap shit that falls apart. i always burn my garbage, INCLUDING my used cell phones

[Xxlegionnaire2010xX]

I never knew that you were suppose to put it in that envelope bag I just used to toss them in haha..... who knew???

[Shunmite]

maybe a reward or something might turn on consumers on recycling their phones. for instance unused or broken phones can be a source of parts that can be used to repair another model.

Thing is... most people feel they deserve cash/some benefit for their non-functioning phone they've stacked away somewhere in their home. It's difficult to quantify the value of a phone unless it's in working condition.
