Recycling old cell phones

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

There are many places.

Your local police department may collect old phones for battered women
and rape victims.

I know that some electronics stores (Best Buy in particular) collect
old cell phones.

Also check with your local cell phone dealer.

Check around, you may find a place to get rid of that old phone and
put it to good use.

Rumor has it any VerizonWireless office will take them. If they can
be reused for women's shelters, they will be. Otherwise they will be
recycled.

When you're in, check out accessories too "-)

The women would be better served if the police issued them one of the
revolvers that were retired when they went to semi automatics.

dan'l.

I wouldn't give them a loaded gun. They probably wouldn't know how to
use it.

you can probably go to your local police which send them to women's shelters
for their use to call 911
