As Mobile Beacon continues to transition our current active customers to the new Sprint 4G LTE network, we want to ensure that the discontinued CLEAR WiMAX devices are discarded responsibly.
While customers do not need to return their current WiMAX device(s) to Mobile Beacon, we do support discarding them responsibly and e-recycle them at a local facility.
As part of Sprint’s corporate responsibility program, Sprint’s Good Works strives to minimize the impact their business has on our environment. Since resources and regulation for e-waste recycling differ from state to state, Sprint has compiled a recycling resource list by State here.
A Growing ProblemAccording to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), e-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the country. |
E-Waste Recycling—it might be a law.So far, 25 states have mandated statewide e-waste recycling. Not only is recycling your 4G device a responsible thing to do, it might be the law. |
“Mobile devices have done wonders for our country and our world. And the employees of Sprint are working to ensure that the costs never outweigh the benefits.”
