National cell phone recycling week underway
Looking for a way to give back to the planet and celebrate National Cell Phone Recycling Week? With drop boxes in stores throughout the United States, a free printable mailing label, and an eco-friendly trade-in program, Verizon Wireless makes it easy for customers to recycle old cellphones, as well as batteries, accessories, and tablet devices, during National Cell Phone Recycling Week and year-round.
Verizon Wireless offers its customers several options for recycling their old devices. HopeLine® from Verizon collects devices and accessories at the company’s 2,000 Communications Stores nationwide or by mail to help victims of domestic violence. The collected phones are refurbished or recycled in an environmentally sound way. Verizon Wireless, through the HopeLine program, provides wireless phones and airtime to victims of domestic violence and cash grants to local shelters and nonprofit organizations that focus on domestic violence prevention, awareness and advocacy.
