Here's a trio of great-grandmotherly motivators to do the right thing -- store credit, cash or a charity.
See, Flipswap (http://flipswap.com/) lets you trade in your old phone one of three ways:
- Credit from a nearby dealer (the Web site has a locator)
- Cash through an online trade-in (after entering information online, Flipswap sends you the box to send in your phone and then sends you a check)
- A charitable donation through an online trade-in (works the same as the cash to you, only the check goes to the charity)
The company then sells the phones to people who want them, usually in poorer countries. Reduce, reuse, recycle -- what a great call!

So, you can "recycle" your old phone, they come to you, you get money back, and you can make a charitable donation? What an easy way to be "green!" I think we have like 5 or 6 old cellphones floating around. I know my 2 year plays with one of them. Thanks for a great tip!
