Cell Phone Recycling Follow-Up
Follwing up on my previous post, I took my old cell phone to the Apple Store and asked to recycle it earlier today. Unfortunately, the store employee I spoke to seemed to have no idea what I was talking about when I asked to turn in my phone. After going to the back to check whether he could take it, he returned saying, “Yeah, we do that; I can just take it.” I was able to give him my phone along with the charger, but I’m a little suspicious as to whether all of those items were actually taken back for recycling. In other words, despite the prominent recycling policy feature on Apple’s website, the rank and file employees do not seem to be aware of the program, leaving its efficacy in doubt.
