Many of you may be familiar with Working Assets, a socially and environmentally conscious provider of wireless and long distance phone service.  In addition Working Assets offers low interest rate credit cards.  They are now in the cell phone recycling business.  All you have to do is go to www.commongood.com, fill out the form and print a shipping label, and mail in your old phones.  They are either reconditioned or scavanged for useable parts.  This is a two part benefit, you have a place to dispose of your phones, AND its totally free!  Check it out!  I already printed out my mailing label and will be sending them three phones on Monday. 04/20/2007
