Cell Phone Recycling Saves Lives

I cannot think of a better way to protect our environment and help kids learn the truth about drugs at the same time.

Until recently, I had no idea how many used cell phones get thrown out or are retired every year. The numbers are in the millions! How many of us don’t have a used cell phone or two sitting in our drawer at home?

What an incredible resource that is to help fight drug abuse. Instead of throwing away your old phones, only to have them end up in a landfill with millions of other, or just letting them collect dust at home — recycle!

You can also help by looking around your environment for sources of used cell phones. Lost and found departments in hotels, stadiums, and the like can be an excellent source. Maybe the company you work for just replaced their phones and would like to donate their old ones. Or maybe you are having a gathering at home and would like your guests to bring in their old phones to help prevent drug abuse.

The ideas are endless and this is a great way to support kids without having to write a check.

If you have any more ideas on how used cell phones can be found, let me know!
