way to recycle cell phones free?


I am living in Waco, Texas. In the last two years i have changed three phones including Nokia 2700 classic, then the Samsung Omnia and one more due to different reasons and there are many dead phones that has got collected in my house. I want to successfully recycle these cell phones so that they do not harm the environment but don't really know whom to contact for such act. For that reason I would like to know whether anyone here knows any place or service to recycle cell phones.

Luckily, a new breed of electronics recyclers is stepping in to help. Call2Recycle, a nonprofit organization, offers consumers and retailers in the United States and Canada simple ways to recycle old phones. Consumers can enter their zip code on the group’s website and be directed to a drop box in their area. Most major electronics retailers, from Radio Shack to Office Depot, participate in the program and offer Call2Recycle drop-boxes in their stores. Call2Recycle recovers the phones and sells them back to manufacturers, which either refurbish and resell them or recycle their parts for use in making new products. When you upgrade to a new cell phone, recycle your old one. Recycling cell phones is easy. Many organizations refurbish used cell phones and either donate them or resell them and use the proceeds to help finance charitable works. The next time you upgrade to a new cell phone, recycle. Don't let your old cell phone end up in a landfill. you don't have to wait for a special occasion. You can recycle your used cell phones any time.
