When two year phone service contracts are up, many of us take the opportunity to upgrade our device.

What happens to our old phones?

Back-Up

Many people keep their phone as a back-up in case something happens to their new phone or someone else in the family needs it.

Sell

Others (myself included) sell their phone on ebay or a website like Gazelle.com to help fund the new purchase.

Recycle

If you have no use for the phone and are not interested in selling it, don't toss it in the trash! Electronic devices contain toxic chemicals and can cause great harm.  This website can help you safely discard your electronics:   E-Stewards.org
