About

Cell phones contain some components which are highly recyclable, such as the plastics, gold (used in the phone circuit boards), silver, copper (in the chargers) and platinum, while others need to be properly disposed of due to their hazardous nature.   If you recycle one phone, you can reclaim all the metals you need for the manufacture of a new one.  Source
