ReCellular's Cell-Phone Recycling Campaign for the American Red Cross

ReCellular's Cell-Phone Recycling Campaign for the American Red Cross. ReCellular announced a new cell-phone recycling campaign to benefit the American Red Cross. The goal of the initiative is to raise a minimum of $50,000 for the Red Cross, through the collection and recycling of cell phones.

Two in three Americans will replace their cell phones with a newer model this year. Unfortunately, the vast majority will either keep their old phones in a junk drawer, or will add them to local landfills -- where these phones could pose an environmental hazard. ReCellular offers the ability to safely recycle these phones, and provide financial support for the Red Cross.

The program will include cell phone donations from Red Cross supporters. Those who would like to participate can download a prepaid shipping label from the Red Cross Web site (http:// www.redcross.org/sponsors/howtohelp/recellular.asp). For every cell phone collected and sold until October 31, 2008, ReCellular will donate $1 to the American Red Cross, with a minimum commitment of $50,000.
