Mobile phones are everywhere, every other day a new mobile phone model is launched making many other models obsolete. With more people buying new mobile phones, what happens to old mobile phones?
Should we throw them in dustbin and let them rest at a garbage dump near your place. NO – like any other electronic device, mobile phones also pose threat to environment and should be disposed off sensibly. Nokia has launched ‘Take back’ campaign to educate users, the importance of recycling.
If you want to dispose off a old Nokia mobile phone, visit a nearest Nokia dealer or priority shop and hand over your old phone. However, before you do that make sure of the following:
