Abstract:
The habits of disuse that are generated once the useful life of a mobile device ends, are associated with the lifestyles of different segments of the population, in Mexico cell phone penetration is 86.2%, which is equivalent to a collection of 102.3 million cell phones in use. This implies large volumes of telephone waste, according to statistics and studies from countries developed with a long history of recycling programs indicating that less than 3% of users recycle their cell phones. These low recycling rates promote a concern because most of these telephone waste ends up in inappropriate places, which is why it is important to know the practices of use and disuse that occur in university communities within the state of Tlaxcala.
