pays cash for used cell phones that have market value, but
it will accept and recycle all phones that people send in.
OCALA,
Fla. (PRWEB) July 18, 2005 -- CellForCash.com,
which pays cash for used cell phones and then re-markets
them around the world, said today it will accept and recycle
all old cell phones that people send in, even those that
do not have any market value.
James
Mosieur, chief executive officer of RMS Communications Group
Inc., CellForCash.com's parent company, said the old cell
phones will either be recycled in an environmentally responsible
manner or will be donated free of charge to law enforcement
agencies and other groups for use as emergency 911 phones.
Since
we make a profit on the valuable cell phones that we buy
from individuals and then re-market around the world, we
believe it is our responsibility to do what we can to recycle
some of the millions of the old phones that get discarded
every year, Mosieur said. That makes for a better and cleaner
environment, and we are proud to be an industry leader in
the responsible recycling of old phones.
Besides
www.CellForCash.com,
RMS operates a number of other web sites. One, www.WirelessFundraiser.com,
provides cash to non-profit organizations that collect and
send in old cell phones. Another, www.RecycleForUS.com,
is an environmental initiative that helps companies, government
agencies and other groups and individuals collect and recycle
old cell phones.
The
company also operates the 911 Cell Phone Bank program, through
which it donates about 1,000 cell phones every month to
law enforcement and other agencies for use as 911 emergency
phones. If those agencies collect used cell phones in their
communities and send them in, RMS will send back cash for
the phones that have value.
Since
the 911 Cell Phone Bank program was started in 2004, the
company has provided $225,000 in cash to participating agencies,
Mosieur said.

will generate a mailing label, which can be printed and
attached to a box containing up to 10 old cell phones. If

click on customer service to obtain a free recycling kit.
"More
than 130 million old cell phones are discarded every year
in the U.S. alone," Mosieur said. "Our recycling
offer should help keep thousands of cell phones out of landfills,
where they can cause significant environmental damage."
