Dave Matthews Band: Recycling Bonus

Nowadays, when you purchase a new cell phone, most companies provide a means to recycle or refurbish your old phone.

In case you need further incentive –  The Dave Mathews Band (whose latest CD, Big Whisky and the Groo Grux King, came out a few weeks back) has partnered with Musictoday and Collective Good to implement a cell phone recycling program with a bonus…

All you have to do is fill out the form at Collective Good and print your FREE shipping label. When CG receives your old phone, you’ll receive a $5 coupon code that is valid for use in the DMB store.

What’s so bad about cell phone waste anyway?

In addition to the massive amount of landfill space that cell phones could take up, they also contain nasty toxic chemicals such as:

  • arsenic (used in some semiconductors)
  • brominated compounds ( example: flame retardants)
  • lead

Cell-phone toxins enter the environment when phones are tossed instead of recycled.
