Lolz I agree with you Grace... but I guess even the cellphone companies need to take responsibility for that...
I recently asked a local Sony retailer if he would take my 4-year old Sony Ericsson T610 if I bought a new one from him... his instant response was- well, this model doesnt sell anymore and since the company wont take it back, I’ll have to throw it in the bin too.”
I also have a 15-year old cassette player adding to my junk and no one is willing to take it off my hands and recycle it or put it to some use. I might just have to leave it by the municipal trash bin and hope that some street kids can make a good stool out of it!!!

Ya and i’m pretty sure that is where my first cell ended up too, somewhere in the big pile. Though i did hear of people using the metal in cell phones and recycling it, but maybe that is rare....
