EPA Mobile e-Waste Quick Facts

About 50 million cell phones are replaced worldwide a month, and only 10 percent are recycled.
Recycling one million cell phones reduces greenhouse gas emissions equal to taking 1,368 cars off the road for a year.
One cell phone has enough toxins—arsenic, mercury, and lead—to contaminate 40,000 gallons of water.
The extreme amount of lead in electronics alone causes damage in the central and peripheral nervous systems, the blood and the kidneys.
Reusing electronic devices saves up to 20 times more energy than recycling alone.

LifeWatch Teams with e-Cycle to Retire Used Phones and Protect Patient Data Security

At e-Cycle, we hold ourselves to the highest data security standards in the industry. All private information is removed manually and every phone we receive is restored back to its factory setting.

It’s that dedication to data security that brought LifeWatch to e-Cycle. Founded in 1993, LifeWatch provides a system that measures and transmits the heart’s electrical activity via cell phones and Bluetooth technology to a monitoring center. This allows physicians to remotely monitor their patients at all times, helping them to discover cardiac issues before they develop into serious health problems.

As LifeWatch continued to grow (over 16,000 of these devices are currently in use around the country), it was becoming increasingly difficult to store the outmoded cell phones that contained confidential patient data.

That’s where e-Cycle comes in.

LifeWatch was drawn to e-Cycle’s services because of that aforementioned dedication to data protection. In an area as confidential as one’s medical information, it was vitally important for LifeWatch to find a mobile phone buyback company that it could trust.

Since their partnership began in 2009, e-Cycle has received more than 6,700 mobile phones and helped LifeWatch earn more than $45,000 in revenue from these out-of-use devices. Most importantly, e-Cycle continues to provide absolute data security for LifeWatch, allowing the company to expand and upgrade its services without the added worry of wondering what might happen to a patient’s confidential information.

Mobile phone recycling has never been easier, thanks to e-Cycle. If you are looking to sell mobile phones to a buyback company, why not try the buyback company with the highest data security standards in the industry?

Don't just recycle it, e-Cycle it!

The Verizon iPhone Reviews are In! | e-Cycle

The anticipation for the release of the Verizon iPhone was built slowly over the course of many months, with some of us waiting years for this device. Now the waiting has paid off, as the Verizon iPhone has finally been released to the general public.

This has meant a number of things. It offers the iPhone to an entirely new segment of cell phone users who did not want to previously switch providers. More importantly, it also adds a competitor in the iPhone game, which was a segment of the cell phone world that used to be owned by AT&T.

With so much excitement surrounding the release of the Verizon iPhone 4, it would be difficult for it to live up to such lofty expectations. However, the reviews surrounding its release have generally praised the phone, citing its strong call quality as a major upgrade over the AT&T version. Fewer calls are being dropped and users are experiencing a clearer and more enjoyable conversation on this phone.

What else are the reviews saying about the Verizon iPhone 4?

From a hardware standpoint, there isn’t much that differentiates this from the previous AT&T iPhone. Most of the reviews choose to focus on the reliability that the Verizon network brings to the iPhone. Calls are consistently connected on the Verizon iPhone 4, offering users uninterrupted and high-quality phone conversations.

By all accounts, the Verizon iPhone 4 is just as good as its predecessor, if not better. Verizon has managed to address the issue of call quality that has plagued the iPhone in the past, making this version of the iPhone 4 a perfect choice for many consumers.
With the number of positive Verizon iPhone reviews that are out there, you might be thinking of switching over to this exciting new phone. That being said, you will want to sell your iPhone (or any other mobile phone) to not only make some money, but to protect our landfills from electronic waste.

Sell your iPhone to e-Cycle today and rest easy knowing that your data will remain private as well. Plus, it helps to know you’ll be getting a great new phone in the Verizon iPhone 4.

Looking to sell your Apple iPad? e-Cycle buys those too!

Apple isn’t the only major player in the tablet game anymore, as Android-based tablets continue to increase in popularity, evidenced by the rise of their market share. With a variety of companies now getting into the tablet game, it presents a variety of new factors to consider.

As Google’s Android-based tablets find a larger audience, it means that there will be some customers looking to sell their iPads to switch to an Android tablet. Like discarded cell phones, a tablet can produce electronic waste that is harmful to the environment. Therefore, it’s important to consider recycling your old iPad to a company like e-Cycle.

If you are, in fact, looking to sell your iPad, keep in mind that e-Cycle will buy those in addition to your old mobile phones. Just like our iPhone recycling process, selling your iPad to e-Cycle is an easy process that will allow you to get cash for your old tablet, keep your private data protected, and, of course, keep it out of our landfills.

Apple is going to face even more competition in the tablet market, which means customers will have to start making some choices. That means that there are going to be more people switching to Android-powered tablets in the near future, leaving a growing number of old iPads that need to be recycled properly.

If you are considering switching to a new tablet or simply recycling your Apple iPad, be sure to choose e-Cycle!

The Verizon iPhone 4 – It’s Here! | e-Cycle

After years of rumors and speculation, Verizon customers can finally order the iPhone without having to switch networks. Needless to say, this is a big day in the cell phone world.

There are a couple of ways that will allow you to get the Verizon iPhone 4:

You can order the iPhone 4 from the Verizon Wireless Online Store and have it shipped to your home.
You can purchase the Verizon iPhone at a Verizon Wireless retail store, but these are sold on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to get there early!

With the release of this much-anticipated phone, there are going to be a lot of old mobile phones being discarded. If you are looking to upgrade to the Verizon iPhone 4, be sure to sell your AT&T iPhone or other mobile phone to e-Cycle.

Doing so protects the environment by preventing electronic waste from polluting our landfills. We also hold ourselves to the highest data protection standards in the industry, so the private data and information on your phone will be secure and, of course, removed. This goes without mentioning the fact that the money you make from selling an old cell phone can go towards the purchase of your new Verizon iPhone.

Why is Wireless Cell Phone Data Security So Important? | e-Cycle

It’s easy to get swept up in the bells and whistles that come with a brand new cell phone; so much so that you don’t consider what might happen to your old phone. Recycling cell phones comes with a lot of benefits, but not all mobile phone recycling companies are the same when it comes to a vitally important aspect of the process: data security.

When you sell your iPhone or other mobile phone with e-Cycle, your organization or business is guaranteed the industry’s most thorough and secure process for removing personal data.

When you get rid of an old phone, it doesn’t necessarily mean that all the data you have stored on it just goes away. A company’s recycled phones could be full of confidential data (emails, phone numbers, documents, applications) that can become a problem if placed into the wrong hands. That’s why it is important to ensure that your data is protected and, ultimately, completely removed.

e-Cycle uses a high-security work environment and processes that have been meticulously designed to maintain the utmost protection of your confidential cell phone data. In other words, we do not take the security of your cell phone’s data lightly. We understand that people sell old iPhones and other mobile devices for a variety of reasons, but everyone wants their data to be secure.

That is why we hold ourselves to the highest data protection standards in the industry. With e-Cycle, you will never have to worry about your data’s security. Instead, you can spend that time thinking about how you helped the environment by recycling your old cell phone.

Complete data security – just another reason to sell your old mobile phones to e-Cycle!
