The U.S. has more than 200,000 troops stationed overseas. Some soldiers spend thousands of dollars to keep in contact with loved ones. Each year, more than 130 million cell phones are decommissioned in the U.S. alone. Phones contain hazardous chemicals and heavy metals that harm our environment. This is a way to keep cell phones out of landfills, recycle their parts, and use the funds to benefit our military.

Cell Phones for Soldiers doesn't cost a dime...only an old cell phone. This is an economical program that provides a place to properly discard of old phones. Your family, neighbors, friends, and members of your church, synagogue, mosque or temple likely have a handful of phones at home in a drawer. Ask around to see how many are available. The program does accept donations as well.
