However, there is a reason to cheer thanks to the efforts of mobile phone recycling companies. Now both environment activists and mobile phone users can heave a sigh of relief. Now outdated mobiles need not be dumped in store rooms and landfills. They can sell mobile phone to recycling companies. So it is indeed a win-win situation.
