The campaign, “Recycling Your Phone, It’s an Easy Call,” is one of many new efforts under the EPA's Resource Conservation Challenge which seeks to increase the nations recycling rate. The campaign aims to get the word out about opportunities to reuse and recycle unwanted cell phones, and to build momentum for even more reuse and recycling programs.  T-Mobile USA offers consumers an opportunity to drop off their old wireless device, wireless accessories and wireless batteries at over 1,400 stores across the country or by printing a pre-paid postage PDF from T-Mobile.com. 

Our Commitment to the Planet
In general, a wireless phone handset consists of 40% metals, 40% plastics, and 20% ceramics and other trace materials.
