RipMobile.com is ready to offer you cash or merchandise for your old cell phones (though I’ve never had any since buying a new one meant the old one dropped over the boat or shattered on pavement…).

RipMobile is one of many companies willing to pay in cash or merchandise for old cellphones. Prices vary depending on the phone’s continued utility and the demand for it; some can be worth $100 or more. You can look up your phone by brand and model to find out what it’s worth.

Hey, even if you don’t get much for sending in your old cell phone, at least it will keep it out of the landfill ("they’re really a bundle of highly toxic materials"!).
