How do charities benefit from Charitable Recycling?
A donation payment to charity is made for each and every cell phone collected for Charitable Recycling. Used cell phone collection enables charities to capitalize on the untapped disposal of all the old phones lying idle in homes and offices. Our plan is easy by design: You collect used cell phones and Charitable Recycling sends you a donation check to help exceed your fundraising goals.

What types of phones does Charitable Recycling accept?
Only Charitable Recycling accepts and guarantees payment for any used cell phone - regardless of age or condition.
As an environmental company, our goal is to keep all used cell
phones out of the local landfill. Therefore, Charitable Recycling
places no restrictions, conditions or terms on the type of cell
phones accepted. Even old "bag" phones are accepted at
Charitable Recycling. We do reserve the right to modify our
cell phone acceptance policy should any entity attempt to violate
the spirit of the program.

What happens to the phones that are donated to Charitable Recycling?
Many phones are donated to shelters for abused adults and children so they may have 911 (emergency only) communication. Charitable Recycling also provides cell phones to medical patients who are awaiting organ transplants. Also, some of the phones we receive are refurbished and redeployed in areas of the world where there are no land (wire) lines, or, where the cost of a new phone is prohibitive. Phones that cannot be refurbished or donated will be recycled and disposed of in an environmentally-responsible manner.
