    It is complex. It is still advisable to get as many uses as possible over the life of a phone. Keep your current phone as long as you can. If you decide to get a new one go check out secret-life(dot)org for recycling information. We all have to keep the pressure up to ensure there are controls put in place that prevent dumping 'e-waste'... Check out the resources page on secret-life (dot) org for deeper information. And pass the site on! Everyone needs to understand this issue.

    I save up my electronic equipment, and take it to the collection place, on a scheduled day. I do the same with my hazardous chemicals / paint, and I recycle my daily waste, too.
    I did hear about the people in 3rd-world countries, that are exposed to all kinds of bad S**t , from our "recycled" stuff.

    Makes you wonder what they hell you should do!
