In the United States alone, an estimated 500 million cell phones have been retired, meaning they are unused in someone’s home or in the trash. Most of those phones end up in a kitchen drawer collecting dust, causing literally billions of dollars to go to waste.

Cellular Recycler has developed a way to collect used cell phones for fundraising and to help the environment by keeping phones out of our nation's landfills.

All You Have to Do is Ask

Cell phone collection is probably one of the easiest fundraising programs you'll participate in. Most cell phone users don't know what to do with their used cell phones and will be happy to donate their phones to a good cause.

  • Collect from friends and family
  • Hold a drive at work or school
  • Ask for used cell phones when getting donations
  • Ask your local cell phone retailer to gather phones from customers
