Call2Recycle–Recycle Cell Phones and Batteries




Call2Recycle® partners with various organizations to collect and recycle cell phones and batteries.  Organizations can collect either internally (staff and members) or externally as well (community).

Sites (schools, townships, retailers, etc) collect cell phones and and batteries and then ship them (shipping is prepaid) for sorting and recycling.  “ … None of the … material makes its way into landfills. Since Call2Recycle was created in 1994, 60 million pounds has been diverted from landfills.”

So far this year they have recycled … “5,132,062 pounds of batteries”
