| There
are over 100 million used mobile phones sitting in drawers
and closets that could be reused or recycled, and one company
wants charities to help locate them for cash – from
$3 to $75 per phone.
(PRWEB)
March 20 2004--There is a virtually untapped source of regular
funds available for non-profit groups and worthy causes
– over 100 million cellular phones.
“No
one knows what to do with their old cell phone when they
get a new one. They just keep sticking them in a drawer
or closet. Companies have boxes and boxes of old phones
their employees are no longer using. We will pay non-profit
groups to collect those phones and send them to us for reuse
or recycling,” said James Mosieur of http://www.CellForCash.com.
Mosieur’s
company will even pay the cost of packing and shipping the
phones, so the money paid will be 100 percent profit for
the organization.
At
least 100 to 150 million wireless phones are believed to
be tucked away in homes and businesses all across America.
Every month another 5 million go out of service as more
and more people change plans or just get a new phone.
“It
is a great hidden treasure that virtually no one knows exists,”
said Mosieur. “We will pay any group that wants to
collect old phones from $3 to $75 per phone depending on
the make, model, and condition. That represents a tremendous
amount of cash for worthy groups all across the country.”
“Cell
phones contain some pretty nasty chemicals, and if you throw
your old mobile phone out with the trash those chemicals
eventually end up in your local landfill. One phone’s
not so bad, but multiply that by the millions a year that
get retired and I think you can see the potential problem,”
said Mosieur.
Cell
phones can be refurbished and placed back into use in third-world
countries where they are badly needed. The cadmium and lithium
found in the batteries can be extracted and put back into
productive use instead of polluting the environment. A reused
phone protects the environment and helps people in poorer
countries.
Non-profit
organizations are the ideal means to collect the old phones.
People are happy to hand over their phones to a worthy cause
when they know it helps the charity, and also helps to put
their old phone back into use in a poorer part of the world.
“It’s
a great way to help your favorite charity without having
to open your wallet. We are happy to work with any group
wanting to raise funds with a cell phone project,”
said Mosieur. “It is really quite easy to conduct
a cell phone drive, and you’ll be surprised at the
large number people will give to your group. Everyone loves
to help a worthy cause.”
