Brokensellphone.com is formed by a group of former HTC professionals in late 2010. It is headquartered and operated out of Houston, Texas. The purpose and goal is to provide an easy platform for recycling broken smart phone devices and educate the average consumer on options of dealing with electronic products towards the end of its useful product lifecycle. The platform provides a hassle free solution of disposing used or broken cell phones and pays the “recycler” (a.k.a. customer) a residual value on their old merchandise. This is a win win solution for consumers and the environment by going GREEN.
Electronic product recycling is often overlooked and underserved in the US market. There are few easy options of discarding old mobile phones and old electronics. Although there are existing vendors providing electronic product recycling, they are usually spotting for used/working items instead of broken or scrapped cell phones. Our company caters specifically towards reclaiming non-working smart phones while giving the “recycler” best values.
The life average usefulness of a smart phone before it breaks due to LCD cracks, becomes water damaged through accidents or becomes technological obsolete is approximately 12 months. However, we have little clue on how to dispose of the handset. The desk drawer usually becomes the final resting place, because we consciously know it would be a waste just by throwing it away. Re-selling on E-bay is great hassle and selling to recycling agents yields no value or they require minimal quantity for processing efforts. Brokesellphone.com is best of both worlds because it offers the easiest and fastest solution to your dilemma. We accept any type of non-repairable and out of warranty cell phones with no questions asked and pay within 7 business days. Free send off shipping will also help you on cost recuperation.
Example:<Case> Your AT&T iPhone 4G suffered a broken LCD after being dropped on the restaurant floor last night during a pro-long twitter texting battle.
<Initial Reaction> you’re shocked at the 0 LCD screen replacement fee! That is after a series of frustrating holds and waiting for repair quotations from AT&T, Apple or 3rd parties.
<Current Situation> You declined the outrageous repairs fees, since you only paid 9 5 months ago and now you are stuck with no replacement and no working phone!
<The Best Solution> Going on line and checking for Brokensellphone.com and discover we would accept your broken iPhone as is or any condition for with free send off shipping and pay you via business check within 7 business days.
<Final Verdict> You are extremely happy and used the for new accessories on your iPhone 5 in September 2011 and being the envy of your buddies, girl/boy friend, mom, dad and the dog..! Not to mention taking part in the GREEN movement in which YOU (the procrastinator) forever have an excuse about..!
The illustration above is a text book example of how easy it is to recoup some money for cell phone with a desirable outcome for the environment. It’s a winner versus buying bumper stickers and pro-claiming being a green peace advocate.
Brokensellphone.com will triage the handsets upon arrival to ensure matching makes and models as specified by customers. Any still operating handsets will undergo hard re-setting or factory recommended wipes, for sensitive information deletion. Our company will attempt to erase all digital information stored within the device to ensure your confidentiality. This policy also applies to out of warranty handsets as long as it induces power source and functionally operable to accept commands.
The founders of brokensellphone.com agree with the principles of recycling. Education is the primary channel of gaining participation from US consumers. The US is a bottom ranked nation when it comes to recycling efforts among general population within the developed world, compared to European nations which has active process and on-going campaigns for years. The awareness of recycling benefits is profound compared with the 2 continents. The US only recycles approximately 28% of its waste according to EPA and that figure is already doubled from 15 years ago. The lagging US efforts needs to act fast to catch up with other developed nations in building a viable long term recycling infrastructure teaming with enthusiastic population support (i.e. Germany). The below facts are some statistic in which the US as a nation are not even close to matching:
• Plastic PET bottles are the most common drinks containers in Switzerland, and 80% of them are recycled – far higher than the European average of 20 to 40%. • Nearly 10,000 Danes are in the business of collecting waste – more than 0.1% of the whole nation. Danish government official released figures for 2003 suggest that 31% of all household waste was recycled, while 62% was incinerated. The remaining 6% was landfill waste.• People are obliged under German ordinance to manage any “special rubbish,” such as batteries or chemicals, to a recycling centre. Upon failure to comply, it could be considered an “offence”• In Rome Italy, the rules were toughened. Residences that do not separate their rubbish or waste can be fined up to 619 Euros (US0), if they have a recycling bin within 500 meters of their premises.
Therefore, to entice additional active participation from the US citizens in collecting electronic scrap and broken phones, we offer money for phone as an incentive for more action. Earning money for electronic recycling should be a persuasive motive to get people interested. We as a company had also decided to donate percentages of our proceeds to charity and non-profit organization as a form of our support for the community. This will also solicit people who are normally not into recycling for financial gains, but for the support for greater good. (Brokensellphone.com welcomes any certified non-profit organization and charities to submit request for donation considerations towards their cause via email.</Final></The></Current></Initial></Case>
