How much is a cell phone worth (what is the recyclable value)?
Current cell phone models in the most demand may yield $10.00 or more. Older yet still usable cell phones can generate $1.00 to $5.00 per phone. All other cell phones, including outdated and obsolete models can still bring in $0.05 to $0.50 each. As a general rule of thumb, you can conservatively target and average of $1.00 per phone, but it will ultimately come down to the quality of cell phones collected.
