Are you the new owner of a shiny new iPhone or other handheld device? Before you chuck your old phone or PDA in the garbage consider Palm’s Take Back and Recycling Program.
The Palm Take Back and Recycling Program strives to keep Palm Handhelds and Treo smartphones out of landfills- and they gladly take other companies’ devices and all related accessories.
Just place your handhelds, mobile phones and related accessories (chargers, headsets, memory cards) into a box large enough for you to safely send in all your retired mobile devices, apply the postage-paid mailing label, and put it in a mailbox or bring it to the post office. It’s free and a great way to reduce your carbon footprint.
