How Do Mobile Phone Recycling Companies Make Money?

Recycling Your Phone For cash This question is raised by many who may be skeptical about recycling mobile phones using one of the many companies advertised.
Do they get tax benefits and concessions off the government? From tax rebates, discounts on the amount of tax actually payable and concessions on associated expenses, there would be a number of ways in which a mobile phone recycling business can make their fortune.
Or is most of thier money made from stripping down the phone to the respective components with each of the parts then sold off individually? or refurbishing the phone and repairing any cosmetic damage. After this the phone can be legitimately sold to another consumer (albeit it with a reduction in the price)
There are some people who feel resentful towards the mobile phone recycling companies for making a profit as they see it as a perversion of what should be a charitable, and event to help the planet and community. However, if we do not provide some form of financial incentive for businesses to provide this service then how would they make a living?
In short, good intentions may warm the soul, but they certainly do not feed us nor that tall white horse upon which we gallantly trot around upon. Once the companies realize how profitable it is to engage in such practices, then we will be able to make further improvements.
