I recently upgraded to a new phone at my local Verizon Wireless store and was reminded about their wonderful recycling program: HopeLine.
Through HopeLine from Verizon, you can easily recycle wireless devices, batteries and accessories in any condition, from any wireless provider, to your local Verizon Wireless Communications Store, or drop them in the mail using HopeLine’s simple instructions. The program then donates no-longer-used phones to victims and survivors of domestic violence who need a line of support. If the phones are unable to be reused, they are then disposed of in an environmentally sound way.
Wondering what happens to the personal info on your phone once it is out of your hands? Stumped on how to scrub your wireless phone clean? Check out our tips on how to wipe your wireless device free of information before you send it off for recycling: http://bit.ly/rzgMyK.
All it takes is one simple action and a quick trip to your local VZW store or post office to make a big difference for our environment.
