will be able to get cash for their used cell phones. The
Florida-based company then re-markets them around the world.
Ocala,
FL (PRWEB) November 12, 2004 -- RMS Communications Group
Inc., a successful re-marketer and recycler of used cell
phones, announced today it has opened a Cell For Cash kiosk
at the Ocean City Mall in Toms River, N.J.
The
kiosk is owned and operated by an independent RMS agent,
Pat Lynch. It is open during regular mall hours and is located
close to the mall’s food court.
Cell
for Cash pays cash for used cell phones that would otherwise
lay idle or end up in landfills. Cell phones contain hazardous
substances and should never be simply thrown away. California
recently passed legislation, effective in 2006, making it
mandatory to recycle cell phones. Several other states,
including New Jersey, are looking at the problem as consumers
frequently upgrade their phones.
Many
non-profits can benefit by collecting cell phones as a fundraiser.
People who can’t visit the kiosk can sell their phones
online at the RMS website – www.cellforcash.com,.
“Kiosks
such as the one at Ocean City Mall offer another opportunity
for us to attract the attention of the many people who may
have old cell phones that they no longer use,” said
James Mosieur, RMS Communications’ chief executive
officer. “We pay cash for those phones, and also offer
people a way to dispose of their old phones in an environmentally
responsible manner.”
Typically,
RMS will pay between $3 and $90 for each useable phone,
and will carefully recycle and dispose of phones that are
unusable. Usable phones are refurbished by RMS and may be
resold around the world. Many phones are donated by RMS
to domestic violence shelters, senior centers or other worthwhile
organizations.
“Selling
old cell phones to us keeps them out of landfills, where
they can cause environmental damage,” Mosieur said.
