    The DONATE A PHONE® program recycles used wireless phones to help the environment and raise funds for a variety of charities. Most phones are resold as economical alternatives to new phones. The rest are safely recycled in accordance with all applicable U.S. environmental regulations. Launched in 1999 by Motorola, the Wireless Foundation and wireless companies nationwide, the national Donate a Phone program has collected 2 million used wireless phones to date, keeping an estimated 200 tons of electronics out of landfills. All phones are sold, with the proceeds used to support charities throughout the U.S., including the national CALL to PROTECT® program. The DONATE A PHONE CALL TO PROTECT campaign collects wireless phones to benefit victims of domestic violence. Proceeds from the sale of phones help fund agencies that fight domestic violence and are also used to support the educational efforts of the Wireless Foundation. Other phones are refurbished and become lifelines for domestic violence victims when faced with an emergency situation. Please call 800-441-1544 for more information on how your company or organization can collect phones to benefit any 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
