Mobile Phone Clamp Down - Recycling Becoming Mandatory
Feb 28, 2006 - Linknet Tech News Mobile Phone Clamp Down - Recycling Becoming Mandatory Feb 28, 2006 - Linknet Tech News - Westchester County in New York will soon be one of the first places in the U.S. to require consumers to recycle their old cell phones. The legislation will be backed up by fines of up to $250 for people caught trashing their old mobile phones.== Secrets to mobile phones - Save Hundreds == Jurisdictions across the country have been wrestling with the problem of outdated mobile phones ending up in landfills and being burned in incinerators. The phones contain harmful chemicals and heavy metals like arsenic, zinc, copper and lead. Many areas of the country have voluntary recycling programs. Most put the onus on cell phone retailers to recycle phones when new ones are purchased. But the New York county law is one of the first that makes it mandatory for consumers to recycle their old phones -- and backs it up with fines. Similar law in California California has a similar law which prohibits residents from thowing away cell phones. The same law also bans disposal of common batteries. Verizon Wireless has been instrumental in providing recycling channels for U.S. cell phone users. Through the program called Verizon Wireless HopeLine the company accepts used cell phones at its retail stores and then refurbishes and resells them. The proceeds are used to provide cash grants, free air time, and cell phones to non-profit organizations and law enforcement agencies to aid victims of domestic violence. Verizon is now also accepting spent batteries and rechargeable batteries. The still-functioning rechargeables are recharged and recycled. == Free sms service to German Mobiles == Since the Verizon HopeLine program began in 2001 more than 2.5 million phones have been collected - 850,000 in 2005. In Southern California alone more than $ 260,000 in HopeLine grants were awarded to domestic violence agencies. In addition, more than 660 wireless phones with a year's prepaid airtime were donated to domestic violence agencies. They are used to aid survivors.
