FlipSwap:: Get Paid for Recycling Old Cell Phones

The phone you had wanted so badly last year becomes a thing of the past. The newest version comes out, and you just have to have all the new features. Slowly, your cell phone becomes "ancient". Now that you have a new phone to tinker with, what are you to do with the old? In the past, you'd just throw it in a drawer, put it in the trash, or let your little ones have fun with it.

Now you can sell, trade in, or donate your phone to charity online at FlipSwap.com. FlipSwap pays you to recycle your old phone. It's fast, simple, and best of all free.

Trading in your phone is simple. Search for your phone, use the prepaid shipping label to mail it in, and in a few short weeks you'll have cash in your pocket.

Flipswap is able to re-purpose nearly all of the millions of mobile phones received each year. Some will have to be recycled. With every phone that is recycled the inStore service, a tree will be planted.

Flipswap estimates that about 25,000 trees were planted through the reLeaf initiative in 2008. More trees mean cleaner air to breathe, less carbon dioxide to heat things up and cleaner water for drinking and washing your hybrid car.
