Still some 15-20 years ago, a mobile phone was a luxury available only to the we althiest people. With the development of technology, the production of communication devices has become cheaper. Mobile phone prices have gone down. An ordinary person could already afford to have several such devices. In this regard, a new problem arose: what to do with an unnecessary old phone? Can it be thrown away in
general waste container? Will it harm the environment? On the other hand, working details have been preserved in its design. Can they be used somewhere? Let's take a closer look at these questions.
What's the problem? I threw it away and that's it
Oddly enough, recycling mobile phones is not an easy task. It is a complex technological process and does not promise economic benefits. Therefore, the solution of this issue at the legislative level is assigned either to specialized state-owned enterprises, or to a company that manufactures devices or imports them into the country. There are recycling points in many large cities of Russia. You can drop off your old phone there. However, it is worth recognizing that this area in our country is still poorly developed. Not every locality has the ability to safely dispose of a mobile device. This is especially true of its most toxic part - the elements of the power system. Then you should try rass
see another option where you can put your old phone.
Hand in to a repair shop
Some repair shops accept obsolete mobile devices from the public. In their activities, parts of a device that has served its time may come in handy. Usually they are most in demand keys, back covers and screens. The master will have to hand over the unnecessary battery for recycling himself. Most likely, he will already have experience of such a procedure, and he will carry out everything in accordance with current regulations.
Sell old phone
If the device is still in working condition, then it makes sense to try to sell it. You can start your search for a buyer by viewing ads on this topic in the print media and the Internet. It will also be useful to place a message about the sale yourself. Many people who do not have a large personal budget are not averse to buying a used item. They will gladly respond to the ad. In addition, it is worth keeping an eye on the promotions of large trading companies. Often they offer to exchange an old phone for a new one. You can get rid of an unnecessary device here by making an additional profitable purchase.
"I will givepet in good hands…”
There are situations when it seems that the phone is morally outdated. Everything works in it. However, the design is already out of fashion. The capabilities of the device are not enough to listen to a fashionable modern ringtone in good quality. I want to replace the old phone with a new model. It's still a pity to sell it or rent it for spare parts. In this case, your favorite “mobile phone” can be presented to those people for whom fashionable devices do not matter much. For example, a pensioner or a child. Such gifts help to establish good interpersonal relationships. In the end, an unnecessary apparatus can simply be put aside in a desk drawer until better times. There is always a chance that a newly purchased phone will fail. And then you need the help of an old reliable friend.
