  Britain to Recycle Mobile Phones
Time: 10:54 EST/15:54 GMT | News Source: Associated Press | Posted By: Fred Fernandez

A British company launched a program Tuesday to recycle some of the 15 million mobile phones and phone accessories discarded [in the U.K.] every year. The plan is part of an effort to keep phones from clogging landfills when owners upgrade to new models. A European Union directive makes phone producers and distributors responsible for taking back and recycling old handsets and accessories by 2004.

The U.S. would definitely benefit from this. I don't think anyone wants my last ten mobile phones (Motorola Ultra Lite, anybody?).
