recycle and win a wii!
Those are probably two things least likely to be together in a sentence, but here they are. You can recycle your old cell phone and win a Wii all at the same place! How much cooler can it get? Cell for Cash is having a contest to give away a Nintendo Wii, all you have to do is submit answers to a poll with a valid email address and you’ll be entered into their drawing. Easy as pie. And as you already know I’m all about winning a Wii so I tossed my name into the hat.
What’s very cool about Cell for Cash is that you can sell your cell phone. That’s right, they’ll give you fresh green cash for your old phone when you’re ready to go get a new one. To find our how much your cell phone is worth you just go to their homepage and enter the make and model cell phone you have and it will give you a figure.
But, that’s not my favorite part of the site. Cash for cells is cool indeed, but even better than cash is being about to recycle your cell phone for free. If you’ve got an old cell phone sitting around that you’ve been meaning to donate to a women’s shelter or other charity that hands out emergency phones this is an easy way to take care of that. Cell for Cash has partnered up with 911 Cell Phone Bank to make this super easy. You just print out a shipping label from the site and you can package up ten cell phones in one box and send them in for a good cause.
It is estimated that more than 140 million cell phones are retired each year and over 500 million cell phones are currently stockpiled in US homes. Just imagine if all those phones were recycled or donated to emergency uses instead!! Lives could be saved, landfills lessened, and junk drawers clean!

New models of cell phones seem to be coming out every week where i am, so a scheme like this can only be a good thing in reducing the impact of all the old, unwanted phones.
