Reports by Consumers

It's a little after Earth Day, but this consumer reports on a Earth Day campaign to recycle cell phones and other electronics.

The Campaign's purpose is not only to raise awareness about the toxins in cell phones, pagers and PDAs but to divert these toxins from our landfills while reducing the need for open-pit mining which produces the gold, copper and other materials used in cell phone manufacturing. Because cell phones contain lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic they are to be classified as hazardous waste by the EPA.
