Do Your Part: Drop Off That Old Cell Phone to a Natural Body Near You

Do you and your family have old cellular phones, pagers or PDAs you don’t know what to do with? Bring in your old phones to a Natural Body Spa & Shoppe near you and we will donate them to Earth Share, a nationwide network of the most respected environmental and conservation organizations that care for our health, water, land, air and wildlife.

What happens to the phones?

Phones are sold to raise funds for Earth Share to further its mission. Donated phones are tax deductible as an in-kind donation. CollectiveGood refurbishes your donated phones to be sold in the developing world, primarily Latin America. A supply of refurbished phones makes first-time phone ownership affordable for many citizens, helping bridge the digital divide, improving local economies and quality of life throughout the region. Mobile phones contain toxic elements like Mercury, Cadmium, Lead, Galium Arsenide and other landfill hazards. Reuse transforms a potentially toxic discard into a valuable commodity. Phones that cannot be reused will be recycled for their metals and plastics in accordance with federal and local environmental standards. 500 million used cell phones are lying around in this country. About 2 million are shelved or thrown in the trash every week.
