Recycle your inkjet cartridges (US)
*According to current statistics, only 5% of empty printer cartridges are being recycled - this means that 95% of these items are simply discarded and end up in landfill sites.
*As well as taking up room in our already-limited landfill sites. Clearly, this is bad news for the environment!
*Fortunately, there's a simple solution to it all - all cartridges I'm taking will be 100% recycled, saving on valuable space in landfill sites and also on oil reserves. It also stimulate the economy by creating new jobs.

Recycle your old cell phones (US) : HERE.
You may not realize it, but many of those old cell phones are valuable – some much more valuable than you may think. On the down side, all of them contain hazardous substances that can pose a threat to the environment and to public health if disposed of improperly.
Cellforcash extracts whatever value remains in old, unused cell phones, and returns that value, in cash, to the phone's owner. And the website makes it easy, paying anywhere from a few dollars to more than $100 for each phone, and handling the shipping details too.
Old
Cell Phones- Where Do They All Go ?
Last
year consumers in the United States purchased more than 100 million new
cell phones. Not only was this an increase over the previous year, it
brought the total number of cell phone users in the U.S. to more than
180 million.
You
might not think cell phone waste is a big problem since the average
cell phone today weighs less than 6 ounces. However, since more than
one-half of all Americans now own cell phones, isn’t it time we take a
look at what happens to our old cell phone when we upgrade, change or
cancel our service. According to Inform Inc, a non-profit institute
which keeps tabs on such numbers, there are more than 500 million old
cell phones sitting unused in drawers, closets and desks around the
country. All of these contain chemicals and substances which are
harmful to the environment if improperly disposed of.U.S.
consumers replace between 100 million and 130 million cell phones each
year. Unfortunately, the cell phone recycling industry processes less
than 10 million of these. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure
out that if there are already 500 million old cell phones and we add
between 90 million and 120 million to this number each year – pretty
soon we have a big problem!
This
brings us back to our initial question… Where do all the old cell
phones go? As I mentioned a short time ago, within the wireless
industry there is a segment which takes these old cell phones and does
one of several things with them.
• Some are sold for use in other countries
• Some are donated to shelters for use in a variety of emergency (911) phone programs
• Some are repaired or refurbished and sold in the U.S. either as replacement or pre-paid phones
• Finally, others are broken down to the essential elements and recycled
The
bottom line is that U.S. consumers replace their cell phones
approximately every 18 months which allows them to take advantage of
the newest technology and features. In most cases the cell phone being
replaced still works fine and has a lot of useful life left in it. Just
because we are through using it does not mean it has suddenly become
junk.We
all need to be responsible stewards of our planet’s resources and make
sure that when we get a new cell phone we find a home for our old cell
phone. In most instances your carrier will offer you a recycling
option, but if not… there are plenty of places on the internet to sell
your phone, donate it to charity, or simply send it in at no cost for
recycling.
