Is there any way so that we can recycle the mobile too.as now days it been using on large scale and when it's get any defect it out of use. so any way to get recycle it too.

Once your mobile phone is broken and no longer working. It is good as a disposable tissue paper.

I dont think parts of a mobile can be reused. It is better to buy new spare parts for a mobile phone . It is better to buy new and genuine parts for mobile .

i don't think that we can be recyling mobile... nothing heard as such till date.

I woke to the obnoxious odor firing my olfactory neurons and signaling my motor cortex to cover my nose with my handkerchief or maybe even cease breathing for a few seconds till we pass the only entry to the nation’s capital New Delhi from National Highway 1 (NH1).

I took a look at the horizon behind the metal tops of trucks along my car and saw a real disturbing view. A whole big lot of waste from the capital being deposited on top to carve rusty colored mountains with crows and eagles hovering on top and flies dancing to the disco beat sounds of the falling waste from the top and the engine noise of the heavy duty trucks. Not an uncommon scene for now it has been ever since I can imagine down the memory lane of my visits to Delhi. But this time the site of this rather regular view made me think deep into the realms of the icy hot topic of Recycling and particularly mobile recycling article I read over at the Nokia Conversations.

India a land supporting more than one hundred billion lives, the fastest growing economic giant with endless ventures of various opportunities for all, yet there is hardly any hint of recycling in the air.

Practically there is no word about recycling in Indian homes, although we are taught in school and other education institutions about various things that can be recycled and eventually do well to mother earth.

The big question to ask is, “Will India ever start Recycling?”
