What About Your Corporate Cell Phones?

Are your corporate cell phones being recycled?  Every time your company turns over cell phones or when one stops working, we’d like to have them. We will make sure they are refurbished, reused or recycled.  Nothing will go to the landfill--cell phones that cannot be reused or refurbished will be broken down to their individual components and recycled.

How Does This Help EarthShare Oregon?

When you recycle with us you keep the harmful components of cell phones out of the landfill and raise an average of $1.52 per phone for EarthShare of Oregon.

Earth Share of Oregon's cell phone recycling program operates in partnership with ReCellular, Inc., the nation's largest cell phone recycler.
