How to Recycle Phones in Dallas
Have questions about recycling phones in Dallas?
Here are answers to the most common questions.
Yes! Big Sky Recycling accepts both working and broken phones. Even if your device is cracked or damaged, it still contains valuable materials like gold, copper, and lithium that can be recovered and reused. We make sure every phone is processed responsibly – working devices are tested and refurbished when possible, while non-functional ones are securely wiped and recycled through certified facilities. Recycling broken phones helps reduce electronic waste and prevents toxic materials from entering Texas landfills.
Texas does not have a statewide law requiring residents to recycle electronics like cell phones. However, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) encourages responsible disposal.
Local programs through the City of Dallas Sanation Department provide options, but availability can vary. Big Sky Recycling offers a consistent, statewide mail-in solution.

Absolutely. Every device sent to Big Sky Recycling is securely wiped using certified data erasure software compliant with NIST 800-88 standards. This process permanently removes all personal information: photos, messages, contacts, and stored data – making recovery impossible.
For phones that can’t be powered on or accessed, we ensure secure physical destruction through our downstream R2-certified recycling partners. Whether your device is reused, refurbished, or responsibly recycled, your data is completely protected from start to finish.
