Donate your old cell phones

If an arsenal of old rejected phones are cluttering up your miscellaneous items drawer (you know, the junk drawer), Verizon Wireless is offering up an environmentally friendly way to do a little spring cleaning. The do-good philanthropic arm of Verizon Wireless, HopeLine, offers consumers the chance to surrender their unused or outdated phones to help others. By donating your phone and old rechargeable phone batteries for recycling, not only do you keep from contributing further to the nation’s landfills, but you can also give a lifeline to those in need. Verizon offers free phones and airtime to survivors of domestic abuse, as well as making donations to non-profit agencies from the sale of refurbished phones.

To donate your old phone(s) and/or old phone batteries, stop by any Verizon Wireless store, or mail them to:

Verizon Wireless HopeLine
c/o ReCellular Inc
2555 Bishop Circle W.
Dexter, MI 48130
