There are 500 million used cell phones sitting around that can pollute the environment and threaten human health. By recycling cell phones, the amount of toxic metals leeching into soil and groundwater can be reduced.
Stop by Farragut Square Park or Duke Ellington on April 5 or April 6 from 11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. to recycle your used cell phone—it’s easy, free and tax deductible—and you’ll get a free flower for your home or office and a chance to win cool prizes from area shops and restaurants. It’s all part of the Golden Triangle’s Clean, Green & Golden week to make the District's central business district look better than ever.
As long as your phone has been deactivated from service, there aren’t security or privacy concerns. All makes and models of mobile phones, pagers, and PDAs are accepted—along with batteries, chargers, and other accessories. For more details on what can be recycled visit Earthworks, the Golden Triangle BID's partner responsible for recycling the phones. Or, email mmoore@goldentriangledc.com at the BID for additional information about the event.
