POSITIVE POINTS
There are quite a number of phone retailer which accept used or second hand phones trade in and sells them. This contributes greatly in decreasing the amount of phones being disposed.

A few retailers are aware of the potential hazards of improper disposal of hand phones.

Some of them even repair or dismantle the components to be installed in other phones and collected the broken phone / parts in a bag to be discarded properly.

NEGATIVE POINTS
Majority of the retailers which throws the phones directly into the dustbin indicates low or no knowledge regarding the potential hazards of the improper disposal habits. During the brief interview among retailer also indicates that most of them are not aware of hand phones recycling activities. With rapid development and the descending of phone prices, we could predict a huge amount of phone disposals. In the long run, this can cause adverse impact on the environment.

 Awareness among people regarding the hand phones recycling is at a very critical level. Not many people realizes the potential effect of improper disposal of the hand phones. Most hand phones retailers opt for throwing broken phones into the dustbin. Astonishing cheaper prices of phones encourages people to buy more phones and discard the old ones. If measures are not taken now, this could affect the environment greatly.
