Are you planning to change or dump your cell phone? Then i am sure you must be thinking about- Where to do with your old mobile phone? Well, now you can do more better than throwing a mobile phone. Nokia is now planting a tree for each mobile phone you recycle with them. I am sure you must have seen Recycle Information on the back of your mobile phone battery or on the mobile phone box.
Why Recycle mobile phones? According to Nokia last survey “Only 3% of people recycle their mobile phones globally. If every Nokia user recycled just one unused phone at the end of its life, together we would save nearly 80,000 tonnes of raw materials.”
Nokia has also created a Mobile Phone Recycle process video which you can watch here.
Nokia Mobile Phone Recycle Centers- You may go to any Nokia Care Centers, Nokia Priority Dealers and Nokia Concept Stores.
Note- Before giving your phone for recycle, make sure you have taken the backup of the mobile phone data on your computer with the help Nokia Mobile Phone PC Suite or other software.
