Big Sky Recycling - a great way to recycle old phones!

Big Sky Recycling made it super easy to recycle our old cell phones. Their website is easy to navigate, and their directions for boxing up and sending in cell phones and tablets are very clear and easy to understand. I also really appreciate that they give you a few options on how those old cell phones can/will be used in the future (e.g. help victims of domestic violence, or to provide phones for soldiers overseas).

Give your old cellphones new life

I had a number of cellphones I no longer used and I was excited to be able to donate them to charities that might put them to use. Big Sky provided a pre-paid shipping label so I could donate the phones at no expense to myself.
