Steps

  1. Prepare your old cell phone for discard. Ask yourself the following:
    • Are my contacts deleted?
    • Do I have any covers on my phone that need to be removed?
    • Is my battery removed?
  2. Call your cellular provider. You may need to stop making payments on this cell phone or transfer your number to your new cell phone.
  3. Find a cell phone collection center. Places such as Staples, Best Buy, Goodwill, or even boxes at local businesses will suffice. Make sure you're cell phone is going to a good cause.

Tips

  • Some areas do not require your battery to be removed. These places might even recycle your battery for you.
  • Your cellular provider may take your cell phone on the spot, eliminating the hassle of finding somewhere to donate it.

Warnings

  • Beware! Many people run scams and will pay you for your cell phone. Be wary of this, some cell phones may be illegally used to take a code off of the cell phone. You could be at fault for this!
