Cell phone recycling "Swiss Style" on May 15 and 16, 2009
On May 15 and 16, 2009, you can return your old cell phone for recycling and you receive a chocolate cell phone instead. This incentive should inspire people to recycle instead of throwing the cell phones away. Many cell phone components are highly toxic if burned, and raw materials like copper should rather be re-used. According to Swico Reycling, so far only 15 % of all sold cell phones are being recycled.
Where exactly you are going to receive the chocolates is currently being investigated.
If you miss the dates above, you can still always return your old cell phone to a Swiss dealer for recycling; with the new cell phone, you already paid a recycling tax.
