Going Green | Recycle Your Cell Phone
Recycle your Old Cell Phones & Electronics
EPA has targeted cell phone recycling because only 10 percent of cell phones are recycled each year and most people do not know where to recycle them. Recycling cell phones results in significant environmental savings and can benefit those in need. Cell phones and accessories are made from valuable resources such as precious metals, copper, and plastics - all of which require energy to extract and manufacture. Recycling cell phones reduces greenhouse gas emissions, keeps valuable material out of landfills and incinerators, and conserves natural resources. Recycling just a million cell phones reduces greenhouse gas emissions equal to taking 33 cars off the road for a year.  Get Cash for Recycling your Old Cell Phone!

Eco-Friendly 'Savings' at BigtimeWireless.com
Did you know that shopping at BigtimeWireless.com is actually eco-friendly shopping? In addition to saving money on discounted cell phones at our site, and saving time by shopping online and fast shipping, you also are benefitting our planet Earth when you shop with us. A recent study by Carnegie Mellon University's Green Design Institute found that shopping online consumes less energy and reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 35 percent compared to shopping at traditional retail stores.
Buying from a Traditional Retail StoreIndividual consumers drive by car from their homes to the nearest retail store to pick up the product and then return home.
Of course the consumer trip to the retail store could include multiple stops or purposes, and this is accounted for in the study.
The study showed that 65 percent of total carbon dioxide emissions generated by shopping at retail outlets related to consumers driving to and from retail stores. By shopping via the internet and ecommerce websites, consumers help reduce these carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption with fewer steps in getting the product to the consumer from the manufacturer.
Buying from BigtimeWireless.comThe product along with many other products are taken in a systematic and highly efficient route to individual homes via a light-duty delivery truck.
After receiving information from the e-commerce company’s data center that the product has been ordered and needs to be shipped, the distributor warehouse individually packages and sends the product to the collecting and sorting distribution center via a parcel service, either by airplane and truck depending on the online consumer’s preferences for delivery time. The product, along with other products, is then taken to the individual homes via a light-duty delivery truck.
E-commerce has encouraged smaller shipment sizes and shorter manufacturing production runs. By better matching production and consumer demands, E-commerce and the Internet can have substantial environmental benefit.
The Carnegie Mellon study concludes that shopping online saves more energy and reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 35%. Now, wouldn't you like to save money and time while also helping improve Earth's cleanliness.
