About Cellular Recyler

Cellular Recycler’s mission is to partner with non-profit organizations, businesses and schools to provide fund raising programs and responsible disposal options by recycling used cellular phones. Organizations simply gather used phones, fill up the recycling kit provided and receive a check for a donation to the charity of their choice. All collected phones are either refurbished and reused or recycled in the United States according to EPA standards.

We became a B Corp to further our efforts to keep e-waste out of landfills. We look forward to engaging the B Corp community to discover new ways we can all contribute to a zero waste society.

The Change We Seek®

According to J.D. Power and Associates, the average consumer upgrades his or her phone every 16 to 18 months. This has resulted in an estimated 93,000 tons of “retired” cell phones in the U.S. Less than 10% of those retired phones are recycled (source: CTIA) leaving a potential 83,700 tons of cell phones sitting idle in our homes or in landfills. These cell phones contain hazardous substances that can potentially leach into groundwater. Cellular Recycler wants to not only eliminate this waste but help much deserving non-profit organizations raise money for their causes.
