Currently processing 4 million handsets per year, ReCellular is able to process 70 percent of the handsets it collects for resale in developing nations where new phones are cost-prohibitive. According the ReCellar, products that cannot be rebuilt are responsibly recycled. No handset components go to landfills, making the process a highly effective method for reducing or eliminating electronic waste.
“Proper recycling of personal electronics is important, which is why ReCellular has dedicated itself to meeting or exceeding all relevant environmental legislation—including the stringent California requirements,” Charles Newman, president and CEO of ReCellular, says. “We look forward to working with Edge Wireless in reducing the number of handsets that enter the solid waste stream.”
Edge Wireless provides premier wireless voice and data service in southeastern Idaho, Jackson, Wyoming, Southern Oregon and Northern California, with 18 retail stores and more than 40 authorized dealer locations.
