Cell phone recycling is important for several reasons.

First, some cell phone recycling systems are used to give phones to those who are otherwise too poor to afford them. This is a great form of charity and makes wireless communication available to people who can't get it on their own.

Second, throwing away cell phones is bad for the environment. Not only is it a needless waste of plastic and metal; there are also toxic chemicals in phones, especially their batteries. Proper cell phone disposal involves recycling the whole thing, including the battery. The battery can be sometimes be reused, but even if it can't it will at least be contained in an environmentally safe way.

Many cell phone companies offer recycling services, and give discounts and special offers to those who trade in their phones for new ones. This is not only good for the environment; it's economical, too.
