RECYCLE YOUR CELL PHONE...and empower SustainUS!
SustainUS is proud to announce a new partnership with Collective
Good,, a U.S. e-waste recycler dedicated to refurbishing and responsibly
disposing of cell phones.
With more than 500 million old cell phones sitting in drawers, or
already adding toxic waste to our landfills, cell phone recycling is
of extreme environmental importance in the US. And SustainUS will receive
funds for each phone it collects!
Local geoclusters will be placing collection boxes at various locations.
For more information on locations, or if you'd like to set up a
box at your office, place of worship, gym, local grocery store, etc.
- contact Zoe Chafe, Zoe@SustainUS.org.
You can also donate online! Just follow the simple directions on the
