Our Blackberries died and went to heaven long ago, but what to do with them (and other cell phones) once they’re toast? Companies like ReCell One and ReCellular (in Ann Arbor) have made an eco-friendly business out of buying back and recycling the tech gadgets. These companies aim to prevent the estimated 65,000 tons of landfill waste pitching our cell phones in the garbage would create. So while you earn a bit of cash, that old iPhone or laptop will be refurbished and sold in another country, where our outdated gear is another’s treasure.
