This week I sent in a working Samsung SCH A950 with www.greenphone.com and they let you print out a free shipping label. The quote was $21.00 bux. I sent in a broken 1st Gen ipod mini (4 Gb) quoted for $9 and a broken 1st Gen classic ipod (20 Gb) and got quoted for $12 thru www.BuyMyBrokeniPod.com. They require shipping. UPS Priority Mail flat rate envelope is only $4.60 any where in the domestic U.S.
I will keep you guys updated on the timetable of the transaction and when I get paid. Come back here for updates.

I don't mean to rain on your parade so to speak, but to be honest, I think you might be able to get more on eBay even for a broken iPod. Maybe $20-$25 at least. As for cellphones, depending what kind, it could also fetch in more on eBay since people with similar phones are sometimes looking for replacement parts.

Although recycling used phones and broken ipods through private dealers and individual bargain hunters does work and even helps the environment, the sites listed above are flagged as ecologically friendly businesses that either COMPLETELY recycle the parts as to leave no harmful byproducts to harm our ecology, or refurbish the ipods or cell phones to have them sold overseas in 3rd world markets where the cell phone trend, used or not, is extremely hot.Another update, I got paid for the cell phone, and this business is paypal fee exempt so they didnt even deduct the 3% commission.
I've just created this thread to help keep people aware and in the habit of being more responsible for our consumer waste, and to let it be known that being environmentally responsible is not a fiscal liability.

Oh yea, not to mention the good karma and satisfaction of mind With these vendors, you dont have to hassle with shady or flaky folks on ebay or craigslist. All those people try and low ball anyways. The price is set, you send it in, and you get paid. Done deal.

Another Update
Just to let you guys know, www.BuyMyBrokeniPod.com gives the best pay for your electronics in my experience and now accepts cell phones, game consoles, old digital cameras, etc. Shipping was CHEAP, just regular postage for the weight. I sold my old WORKING Verizon LG Chocolate (1st Gen VX8500) with manual, chargers, original box, cover, etc. in good condition and got the below. From shipping to paypal payment, this took no longer than a week. I checked craigslist and the recycler, and the 1st Gen Chocolates can't even be sold for 60-80 bux now. Then u get the low ballers and spammers to deal with. 
This is a systematic and proven method to recycle your electronics responsibly and get paid to do it in a no BS way.
Just my 2 cents.
Oh yea, I got the New LG Venus now. Great phone IMO.

One time I took all my electronic/ computer junk put it in a box and called it box-o-electronic-junk, it included old hard drives a bunch of cables and crap. Sold it on ebay for about $100 + shipping... people on ebay will buy anything.
