What do you do with an old and unused cell phone?

My old cell phone, with its charging cord, still lays on the stand next to the surge protector I used to recharge it the phone. The phone is of no use to me. It just lays on the stand its dark screen facing the ceiling. I almost said staring at the ceiling, but the phone is an inanimate, nonliving item. It is a product of modern civilization and not a living creature.

I do not like the idea of throwing the phone away. I do not think it is a good idea for the phone, its battery, and charging cord to go into a landfill. I think that would eventually make the pollution problem worse then it is now, but I do not know what else to do with the phone.

I can write a story or poem about the phone, but that does not help me dispose of the thing. I do not need the phone to help me write about it because it is just an ordinary cell phone. It is an inanimate object without any feelings; all though, I could give it feelings in a story. Even if I write a story about it, I still need to find a way to dispose of it.
