Green Program

Yakety Yak strives to keep all cell phones out of the landfill. Phones contain elements that are harmful to the environment. Yakety Yak partners with certified recyclers to safely reuse old phones. If your phone is too old to qualify for our YakSwap program, then let us dispose of the phone in an environmentally conscious manner.

• Not all recycling programs are created equal. Some “recyclers” actually ship their phones off to third world countries, where they become dangerous refuse for another society. Don’t make our trash someone else’s problem.
   
• Yakety Yak uses an ISO 4001 company that is fully certified in the safe disposal of used phones. The heavy metals are safely extracted and reused, and the plastics melted down to help create new products.
   
• As an added bonus, for every phone that is too old to qualify for the YakSwap program, Yakety Yak has partnered with reLeaf to plant a tree for every phone donated. Our partner estimates they will plant over 25,000 trees during 2008, helping clean the air we breathe.
