I need to recycle my old cell phone in Canada. Given that the Recycle My Cell program has ended, what are the primary recommendations for recycling cell phones, distinguishing between devices that are still working and those that are not? Also, what is the effective date for these new recycling guidelines?
Navigate to 'https://www.recyclemycell.ca/'. Locate the section on the homepage that discusses the winding down of the program and provides alternative recycling options. Identify the date from which these new recommendations apply. Identify the recommended entities for recycling non-working cell phones. Identify the recommended types of organizations for donating still working cell phones.
The agent successfully navigates to the Recycle My Cell homepage. The agent states that the new recommendations apply 'As of January 1st'. The agent states that for general cell phone recycling (implying non-working devices), Canadians should check with their 'wireless service provider', 'local recycling depot', or 'provincial recycling council websites'. The agent states that for 'old but still working devices', Canadians should check with 'neighbourhood not-for-profit organizations' such as 'women’s shelters' and 'CNIB’s Phone it Forward program'.
