Find New Homes for Old Cell Phones  Please help Scarce rescue cell phones from the landfill. They will be distributed to those in need or be recycled properly.
This can be done in the following ways:
* Drop off your cell phones, chargers and batteries at our location in Glen Ellyn.
* Even better, do a Cell Phone Drive at your school, church, or place of business. You can pick up collection boxes at our office, or make your own. This is a great project for scout troops, National Honor Societies, Key Clubs, Ecology Clubs, etc.
