Old Cell Phones
I have a box of old cell phones
Should I just throw them out or is there a place I can donate them to?

Re: Old Cell Phones
I have heard you can donate them so they can be programmed with just the 911 capability and they give them to victims of domestic violence..I unfortunately am unsure of where exactly you donate them to...I will try to find out so I can post...

They're probably doing a cell phone drive for a local charity. Domestic violence agencies use the phones for their clients so they can call 911 and I believe some elder care service providers use them as well.

Re: Old Cell Phones
My friend has a disease called cooleys anemia( thalassemia) a disease of the blood---her foundation accepts cell phones to raise money.
If anyone wants to donate old cellphones-PLease let me know so I can arrange to pick them up. ( if you donot have a charity in mind)
Thanks
ETA- I think this was a really nice idea that you thought to post here Marcie

Re: Old Cell Phones
Verizon stores have donation boxes for victims of domestic abuse. Clear out your information and drop them in the box.

Re: Old Cell Phones
I think you can drop them off at radio shack and they donate them to abused women. I also saw a sign at stop and shop a few weeks and you can drop them off there too.

Re: Old Cell Phones
You can also bring them to The Body Shop and they donate them as well to Domestic Abuse victims I believe.
