Instructions for Recycling Your Mobile
Devices
Help Inc. Foundation is a
mobile devices recycling resource. If you have spare mobile phones,
pagers or PDAs sitting on a shelf or in a drawer, you can recycle
them here in an environmentally and socially responsible manner.
Help Inc. Foundation is working on a major mobile phone recycling
initiative. Its designed to capture idle mobile phones in North
America and redeploy them, solving an environmental problem, raising
funds for Help Inc. Foundation and bridging the digital divide. The
program offers an easy way to solve the dilemma that many mobile
phone users face: how to properly dispose of idle, used
devices.
Some of the redeployed phones will be used by
Help Inc. Foundation's in-country field staff to
more efficiently manage community empowerment projects. These phones
provide affordable, modern communication in countries where the
majority of the citizens have never enjoyed the benefits of
telecommunications.
Multiple Recycling Stations pay Help Inc.
Foundation for the remaining phones and readies them for sale in
developing countries. Proceeds from the sale of these phones will be
used by Help Inc. Foundation to further its mission -- essentially
converting idle mobile phones into food, housing and education
programs throughout the world.
Millions of the idle mobile
phones are simply sitting in drawers and on shelves of individuals
and companies, where they will most likely stay until they are
thrown in the trash. This poses a potential environmental problem,
since mobile phones contain toxic materials such as cadmium, lead,
mercury and gallium arsenide. By taking a few simple steps to
recycle these mobile phones, potential environmental damage is
averted. Recycling mobile phones preserves the environment, provides
support for Help Inc. Foundation's humanitarian activities and
improves lives by bridging the digital divide through affordable
telecommunications.
