GRC will pay Net Impact between $0.50 and $30.00 for each cell phone that is donated. The money raised will be used to fund Net Impact's November Book Club - details to come! Why should you recycle your old cell phone? 1) Reuse - approximately 60% of recovered cell phones have resale value in Latin America and GRC distributes recovered cell phones to wireless markets in need of inexpensive refurbished cell phones. 2) Refining - approximately 40% of recovered cell phones do not have a resale value. These phones are processed through GRC's environmentally responsible refining program that oversees shredding, smelting, and metals refining for non-reusable cell phones. 3) Responsible battery recycling - batteries are processed according to EPA guidelines for the proper disposal and recycling of rechargeable batteries. If you have any questions feel free to contact Net Impact at fordhamni@gmail.com.
