ECO-CELL Offers Cell Phone Recycling Challenge


Advertising Partner Advertise with Earth911.com

For the entire month of April, you can donate obsolete cell phones to raise money for the SaveDarfur Coalition and the United Nations World Food Programme thanks to a challenge presented by ECO-CELL.

April 13 is World Darfur Day, and ECO-CELL is crediting any phones mailed during April toward the Dollars for Darfur initiative. Phones will be recycled to keep chemicals like lead out of landfills.

If you let ECO-CELL know you plan to send in ten or more phones, ECO-CELL will provide a free shipping label. Participants who want to ship their phones directly to ECO-CELL should send them to: 2701 Lindsay Avenue, Louisville, KY 40206.

If you’re looking for a local event or location to recycle your cell phone, use Earth 911’s recycling locator.

Congratulations on ECO-CELL in this phone recycling enterprise. I used to work for a cellphone store and we had a box of old cellphones and we didn’t know what to do with it! Nice to know that old cellphones can help the environment. I work with http://www.batterytex.com — a battery provider that always looks out for the environment.
