Expanding Electronic Equipment Recycling

In addition to computer recycling, we also recycle T.V.'s. Cell Phones for Soldiers Program Information..... Electronic waste is the most quickly growing waste concern worldwide. The average life span of a cell phone is only eighteen months. On average 130 million cell phones are retired annually in the U.S. alone. Therefore, cell phone recycling is imperative. Nationwide, it is estimated that only 1% of retired cell phones are recycled or reused. The remainder litter closets, drawers, and unfortunately landfills. Cell phone recycling has even become a requirement in some states and counties. Thank you to the citizens and businesses that have supported the Cell Phones for Soldiers program by donating unused cell phones. We would like to encourage your continued support.

We have included the County Administration Building in our drop off centers along with Cellular Now and the Landfill. Please be reminded that Cell Phones for Soldiers will accept all cell phones, reguardless of dammage.
