What do you do with your phone when you are done with it? Put it in a draw? Chuck it in the bin? Give it to mate?
Well now instead of doing that some people are actually recycling their phones, which are finding their way to third world countries like Jamaica, Bolivia and Yemen.
A main player in this business is Recellular who now handle on average 75 thousand phones every week! These are from people who have finished their contract and have got a new phone.
Because of this company and many other people in third world countries are now able to buy a phone and get a contract for less than it would cost them for a landline. Especially because in some cases land lines are not even available.
So, what will you do with your next phone?
