Ever wonder what to do with
those old, useless cell phones lying around your house? The Callaway County
United Way has the solution.
The CCUW has partnered with
The Wireless Alliance, a company in Colorado, to collect and recycle old
cell phones. There is no cost associated with this project and the United
Way will receive approximately $2.00 for each phone donated.
The program will keep cell
phones and the harmful chemicals within them – out of our landfills. The
parts will be recycled and some phones will find new users such as our
soldiers. And your donations will help thousands in Callaway County.
If your business would like to participate
in our efforts to recycle cell phones simply click
here.
You will receive a receptacle collection box. When the box is full simply
seal and return using the attached pre-paid FedEx label. There is no cost to
you. You will be helping the environment and you are contributing to the
CCUW.
If you have any questions concerning this
project please
email or call 573-642-0536.
Ink Cartridge Recycling:
Like cell phones, old printer ink
cartridges should not go in our landfills. The CCUW
has partnered with PCR, is a
family run business located in Auburn, Washington, to collect and recycle
these items. There is no cost associated with this project and the UW
will be paid directly for each empty laser toner, inkjet, fax cartridges
recycled.
Where to drop off your
old cell phones and cartridges? There is a
collection box located at RE/MAX Select - 512 Market Street in Fulton - and
several other location around town. Please
contact
us to find the nearest drop off site.
Thank you for helping to save
the environment!
GO GREEN!
