For those of you in the US, check out
Earth911. This tells you where you can recycle darn near any product you put in the search bar.
As far as cell phones specifically, you can take those into any cell phone store and they will accept them for recycling. For computer equipment, both HP and Dell, and most likely other computer manufacturers, will accept old machines back for recycling. Both HP & Dell now have an internal policy that e-waste will not be shipped out of the US for dismantling in 3rd world countries.
