Open Question: Can you lend a hand in helping save our earth by recycling your old cell phones or ink cartridge?
Ask people to send me their cell phones that they no longer want. They could be in any shape. Also, we take empty ink cartridges. We are recycling in order to help save our earth. 5622 Brandemere Dr, San Antonio, TX 78218
Yes, I can guarantee that no one will be using anything on your phone. You can clean it out, soak it in water, fry it with a battery, it dont matter cause it is going to be recycled. Meaning, destroyed.Or you could send used ink cartridges if sending a old phone dont make you confortable. I will supply you with my phone number if that will make you feel more confident. But you need to email me in order to get my number.

Resolved Question: How would I go about recycling a large variety of items & materials locally?
I live in the Capital Area of Michigan, and need to find somewhere to recycle a large variety as well as quantity of items and materials.

Here are some items & materials which I have to recycle. Please keep in mind that this does not cover every item or material, and some items and materials I am currently able to recycle.

Used motor oil, oil containers, used anti-freeze, anti-freeze containers, metal paint cans, oil based paint, latex paint, spray paint – some have paint and others don’t, cell phones, dead batteries from UPS (Uninterpretable Power Supply) units, CD and DVD drives, paper, magazines, news papers, various plastics some with and without recycle category number, speakers, magnets, computers, LCD monitors, CRT TVs, CRT monitors, rear projection TVs, printers, toners, inkjet cartridges, washers, dryers, refrigerators with compressor full (it’s bad for the Ozone to just cut the lines, so don’t suggest that), card board boxes (both layered and flat), fans, various car parts, steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, electric wire (strained and solid), coax (the cable line used for TVs).

There is much more that could be listed, however, I feel that this is more than sufficient for giving you a general idea. I’m not a “tree hugger” as many people label others that care about the environment. I just figure why trash it, I have to live here. While others may hate to recycle or won’t; I offer to do it for them, hence how I get so much stuff. If it’s any good I will try to sell it or donate it. Profit usually goes toward my truck for repair and fuel as there is little to no profit to be made.

If you know of any companies in the area, or any websites listing information please let me know. Any and all viable information is much appreciated. Several of these items I am already able to recycle. The items and materials listed above are just an example of what I have to recycle. I’m currently able to recycle most metals easily. It’s the other items that are a little harder to move. Once again, thank you for your time and input.

Well, I have, what I believe is apprx, 10 Gal. of motor oil in sealed containers. I’m not a business. I merely scrap stuff, and keep others from sending it to a land fill or dumping it in the woods. As far as newspaper, I haven’t ever heard of being paid to recycle it. Most containers are empty or close to it. If a container has more than a few drops, I’ll empty it into a larger container. Aware of MSDS. Businesses which are supposed to take back oil when you buy oil often don’t, hence my current amount. Disposal, rarely will anyone find out what others do. I seen a neighbor dump stuff out back before. Makes me wonder where they think it goes. I didn’t man any offense by saying “tree huger” either, if I have offended anyone I do apologize. I appreciate all help. While doing my part, I don’t feel like paying to do what’s right. They can either take it as-is, or I can just put it all in a ton of small bottles and make a trip once a week. Seems that you would be awarded for doing right…
