In a tight economy it's always nice to make an extra buck. Which is why I am happy to blog about CycledCells. By using this program, you can make some money and help make the planet a little greener by recycling your cell phones. They even pay for shipping.
According to its Web site, "the average American purchases a new cell phone every 18 months, which means more than 160 million cell phones are discarded each year." Think of the environmental impact that has on the planet. Once you send in your phone to CycledCells, it is processed and on to the next user or recycling facility.
It accepts working as well broken cell phones for cash or a nonprofit contribution. You can use this program also as a way to help raise money for an organization you are involved in or support. All the details are on the CycledCells Web site. It will even help you design a free Web page for your organization.
Sounds like a win-win situation to me!

This company is a TOTAL scam. I followed the directions to the T - they received my phones and sent me an email that their "paypal was not working" and they would send a check. Over 70 days later and no check. I have sent 4 emails to them with none of them being responded to.
I would say that you should send your phone elsewhere. They may pledge to help the environment and pay you money, but they are only helping themselves.
