Our cell phone recycling project will collect used phones and prevent them from just being thrown away and put them back into useful service as 911 only phones
Each year millions of cell phones are discarded and wind up in the waste stream and eventually leak toxins. Our program collects them and puts them back in useful service for volunteers and seniors as they are able to be used for 911 only calls. Many seniors when released from the hospital will benefit having a cell phone to call for emergency help should the need arise. Many park volunteers get these 911 only cell phones to summon emergency police or medical help in our parks and green spaces.
Volunteers will collect used cell phones( in any condition) at civic meetings and special events. We will check them and clean them and ready them for use for 911 only calls.
Our cell phone recycling program will remove many cell phones from the waste stream and prevent toxins from seeping into the ground and water supplies.
