Donate Your Cell Phones

Help the planet. Help My Father's House. You can make a difference with cell phone recycling. One in three Americans will replace their cell phone this year, adding to the 500 million unused phones currently waiting to be discarded or recycled.

Mobile phones are recycled in a couple of ways.

REUSE

Recycling working phones with resale value.

Approximately 60% of recycled cell phones have resale value as refurbished cell phones. The reuse of used electronics is applauded by many environmentalists as an essential step in the electronics recycling process.

REFINING

Approximately 40% of recycled cell phones do not have resale value. Through the Refining program, phones are shredded and smelted and various metals are “reclaimed” back to their natural state. This process, often referred to as “above ground mining”, is applauded by many environmentalists.

Cell phones contain toxic metals that can pollute the environment and threaten human health. When recycled responsibly, the metals can be put back into circulation, decreasing the need for new metal mining.

Cell phone recycling and wireless recycling programs keep valuable materials out of landfills, including an estimated $630,000 of precious metals from circuit boards, and enough copper from phone chargers to recover the Statue of Liberty, twice.
