Recycle.  It's Your Call!

(Name of your organization) is collecting used cell phones in our efforts to significantly increase fundraising.  In conjunction with the Charitable Recycling Program, a donation payment will be made to (name of your organization) for each and every cell phone collected - regardless of age or condition. 

With more than 150 million cell phones retired in the U.S. each year, the fundraising potential is tremendous.  Because cell phones and their batteries contain toxins they should not end up in landfills.  The Charitable Recycling Program provides the community with a cost-free and convenient recycling opportunity.  

Recycling benefits more than the environment.  Recycled cell phones are used for social good as many donated phones are distributed for 911 (emergency only) services, providing battered adults, children and senior citizens with a direct link to necessary communication.  Other recovered phones are reused in less developed countries where the cost of a new phone is prohibitive, or, in areas of the world where there are no land (wire) lines.  Obsolete used cell phones are destroyed in an environmentally-responsible manner, with 100% landfill diversion. This announcement coincides with (organization's) e-waste reduction efforts, as the program illustrates the leading role (organization) is taking towards assisting the community with technology recycling.
