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.
