Recycle Your Old Palm® Devices

With Palm's Take Back and Recycling Program, you can recycle your old devices in honor of Earth Day on April 22. Send in your Palm® smartphones, handhelds, and accessories in any condition for reuse and recycling. They'll even recycle phones that aren't made by Palm, so send those in, too! Before you send in your phone, be sure to clear the phone's memory of information that you wouldn't want a stranger to see. Removing the SIM card isn't enough. To permanently delete personal information, follow the manufacturer's instructions for performing a factory reset for your specific model. Free data erasers on the web    also offer instructions on how to do factory resets for various models. Once you've deleted your personal information, place your retired mobile phones, handhelds and related accessories into a box large enough to ship them safely. Then print out and apply one of Palm's postage-paid mailing labels, and drop it in a mailbox. It's that easy! Don't let your old devices sit in a drawer and don't throw them in the trash! They are made from precious metals, copper and plastics. Recycled components can be used to make other products, which reduces greenhouse emissions, keeps valuable material out of landfills and conserves natural resources.
