Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Workweek put together a logical plan of action for bringing cellphone recycling to the U.S. over on his blog. However, it requires the collective effort of all of you to make this happen. The idea is this—if we lobby enough executives in companies responsible for cellphone manufacturing and distribution, asking for a plan of action, eventually some of these people will reply and will publicly pledge to consider it. As an incentive, Ferriss is giving away free stuff to the best responses posted by June 1st? Sounds good to me... but then again, I'm a huge fan of this stuff. Get all the details over at Tim's blog.

I've always sold unused cell phones on ebay, even ridiculously outdated ones. The real problem it seems, are all those CRT monitors and tv's that are too expensive to ship to a second hand buyer and end up in the fills, or that little kid's living room.
@eblingmis:
Luckily I found a buddy to buy my old CRT monitor but you make a great point.
I would never have wanted to ship that thing, it was a monster 19" Dell.
I have about 5 tube TV's sitting in my basement ranging from 19" to 27" and shipping these would not be ideal. Two solutions come to mind, garage sale and/or driving up to the local college campus and seeing who wants to buy a cheap TV for their dorm/apt.
