Recycle Your Old Cell Phone

Recycle your old cell phone and support the mission of Pacific Whale Foundation!

    By recycling your old cell phone, you can help the environment and the organization at the same time. Approximately 130 million cellular telephone handsets will be retired each year in the US. It is estimated the national total for stockpiled cell phones may reach 500 million units by the end of this year. It is also estimated that nationally less than 5% of all unused cell phones are collected and processed for re-use and recycling. This means that approximately 65,000 tons of waste is going to be generated annually by people replacing their current handsets. Cell phones contain toxic chemicals and wastes which if not properly disposed of may leak into our groundwater and cause serious harm to the environment. All phones collected through this program are resold to extend their useful life, donated to law enforcement or shelters to provide emergency communications, or recycled.

    This program directly benefits consumers by:

• Providing an easy way to dispose of their old cell phones
• Supporting organizations, such as Pacific Whale Foundation, to raise funds for their programs
• Helping the environment by responsibly disposing old cell phones.

    Please donate your phone in support of Pacific Whale Foundation and send your old cell phone in to be responsibly recycled.
