There are over 100 million used mobile phones sitting in drawers and closets that could be reused or recycled, and one company wants charities to help locate them for cash – from $3 to $75 per phone.
There is a virtually untapped source of regular funds available for non-profit groups and worthy causes – over 100 million cellular phones.
“No one knows what to do with their old cell phone when they get a new one. They just keep sticking them in a drawer or closet. Companies have boxes and boxes of old phones their employees are no longer using. We will pay non-profit groups to collect those phones and send them to us for reuse or recycling,” said James Mosieur of http://www.CellForCash.com.
Mosieur’s company will even pay the cost of packing and shipping the phones, so the money paid will be 100 percent profit for the organization.
At least 100 to 150 million wireless phones are believed to be tucked away in homes and businesses all across America. Every month another 5 million go out of service as more and more people change plans or just get a new phone.
“It is a great hidden treasure that virtually no one knows exists,” said Mosieur. “We will pay any group that wants to collect old phones from $3 to $75 per phone depending on the make, model, and condition. That represents a tremendous amount of cash for worthy groups all across the country.”
“Cell phones contain some pretty nasty chemicals, and if you throw your old mobile phone out with the trash those chemicals eventually end up in your local landfill. One phone’s not so bad, but multiply that by the millions a year that get retired and I think you can see the potential problem,” said Mosieur.
Cell phones can be refurbished and placed back into use in third-world countries where they are badly needed. The cadmium and lithium found in the batteries can be extracted and put back into productive use instead of polluting the environment. A reused phone protects the environment and helps people in poorer countries.
Non-profit organizations are the ideal means to collect the old phones. People are happy to hand over their phones to a worthy cause when they know it helps the charity, and also helps to put their old phone back into use in a poorer part of the world.
“It’s a great way to help your favorite charity without having to open your wallet. We are happy to work with any group wanting to raise funds with a cell phone project,” said Mosieur. “It is really quite easy to conduct a cell phone drive, and you’ll be surprised at the large number people will give to your group. Everyone loves to help a worthy cause.”
