Introduction: What is the use of recycling "old mobile phones" at high prices in rural areas? Is it safe to re-bathe with a mobile phone? I heard from insiders that
mobile phones are about
. Nowadays, for adults, almost everyone has one, and some even have several mobile phones.
And compared with the past, mobile phones are getting cheaper and cheaper now, which also leads to a high elimination rate of mobile phones. A mobile phone is often not broken yet, but if a new mobile phone comes out, it will be eliminated.
is to be honest. My wife and I started buying mobile phones since college, and each of us has changed seven or eight mobile phones one after another. Now there are more than ten old mobile phones at home.
And every time I clean the room, I will accidentally find my old phone when I clean up my things. I would suggest my wife that there are people downstairs who are recycling used mobile phones on the speakers every day, recycling old mobile phones at high prices, or using old mobile phones to replace stainless steel basins.
The wife will say: It is not safe to replace the stainless steel basin with an old mobile phone. Even if the data inside is cleared, some software will recover. Then these data will be sold by people with ulterior motives.
I asked my wife where she heard it. She told me that this was what others said, and that people on the Internet said so.
. People often go to recycle old mobile phones at high prices in rural areas. What are they doing? Is it really unsafe to replace a used mobile phone with a stainless steel basin as my wife said? Let’s listen to the people in the industry.
In order to figure out this problem, I later consulted one of my elementary school classmates. Because he had just finished junior high school and did not continue to go to high school, he followed his father to drive a tractor to various villages to collect junk.
Not to mention, although his education is not high, he has earned a lot of money in collecting junk over the years. Not only did small foreign houses be built in rural areas, but also bought a house in the city. In recent years, while collecting junk, he has also followed the trend of the times and started a business of recycling used mobile phones.
Every time he goes out to collect rags, he will use a small speaker to play over and over again, "Recycle used mobile phones and rotten mobile phones at a high price, and those who cannot turn on the phone can also be recycled."
In fact, it is similar to other people who recycle old mobile phones. Often, a used mobile phone can be sold for 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 15 yuan, or higher prices. If you like, you can also use your mobile phone to exchange for stainless steel basins, or kitchen knives, scissors, etc.
After all, he has been engaged in the rag industry for many years and has a good reputation in the countryside, so his business is also good. Especially some elderly people in rural areas, most of the ones they used before were elderly phones , and they have also used smart phones in the past two years.
In this way, every household has several used mobile phones, which is useless for the elderly. Since they can be exchanged for money or even stainless steel basins, this can be regarded as allowing them to exert their remaining energy, so they sold their old mobile phones to him. I heard from him that sometimes hundreds of used mobile phones can be recycled in a day, and the business is still very good.
Later, I specifically asked this old classmate what are the uses of these used mobile phones he recycled in rural areas? My elementary school classmate pointed out that it is not as unfathomable as many people think. Used mobile phones mainly have three main uses.
The first one is to renovate it and sell it.
is the main sales channel for most used mobile phones, because now many used mobile phones have basically broken batteries or have problems with the screen and buttons.
Just replace these and then refurbish them and you can sell them in the market. Often, a used mobile phone can be recycled for only five yuan, ten yuan, etc., and you can buy it for hundreds of yuan after renovating it. Don’t look at these refurbished machines, not only have a good market in the country, but also many of them can be sold to the international market.
, like some mobile phone repair stores in rural areas, sell various refurbished machines. Due to the high price, some older people do not pay attention to the brand. As long as they see the price is right and the performance is good, they will buy it.
The second one is the spare parts in the phone in advance.
Although some of the recycled used phones are broken.But their parts can be used continuously. There are hundreds of small parts in a mobile phone, which in our opinion are worthless.
However, for some mobile phone manufacturers, recycling these parts is more affordable than processing and production, and can greatly reduce their costs.
, especially for some lower-end mobile phones, recycling parts from mobile phones and reusing them on other mobile phones is no longer a secret in the industry.
The third one: refining the metal in the mobile phone.
If the recycled mobile phone cannot be renovated, and all the parts it can use are extracted, the remaining mobile phone motherboards, or mobile phone cases, etc., this is also useful.
, especially the motherboard of used mobile phones, can be used to refine some precious metals. I believe some people have heard of using motherboards of used mobile phones, and then refining gold after dissolving them. This is true.
As for some people on the Internet, recycling mobile phones will extract the information inside. My elementary school classmate said that this is unlikely. Even if there is this technology, it does not have this value.
Because the mobile phones they recycle are sold to some acquired companies by pound, and then they are sorting and extracting them, so there is no need to collect such information, let alone this is illegal.
, but my classmate also pointed out that if you plan to sell your used mobile phone, it is still necessary to clear the data and remember to take out the memory card.

Everything says that garbage is a treasure that is placed in the wrong place. This sentence is true at all. Like many used garbage in our lives, some people have generated huge value through recycling and reuse.
In the era of technology, mobile phones are becoming more and more popular, and hundreds of millions of mobile phones are eliminated every year, which shows the huge value it hides. If they are discarded at will, it will be a major pollution to the environment. Recycling them not only makes them valuable, but also avoids the waste of some resources. At present, many large mobile phone brands have services to replace old mobile phones with new ones, which is also a way to recycle old mobile phones.
believes that in the future, recycling of mobile phones will become more and more common. Not only offline recycling, but online recycling of mobile phones will bring greater convenience to our lives.
