Verizon Wireless HopeLine Phone Recycling Program
Northern Californians can help preserve the Earth’s resources and support victims of domestic violence this Earth Day – and every day – by recycling their no-longer-used wireless phones, batteries and accessories through Verizon Wireless’ HopeLine phone recycling and refurbishing program.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), recycling 1 million phones would save enough energy to power 185 U.S. households with electricity for one year, so every phone donated can make a difference.
Buying a New Phone? Recycle Your Old One
Verizon Wireless includes a postage-paid phone donation envelope in welcome packages customers receive when purchasing or upgrading to new phones online. Customers can simply put their old phones, batteries and accessories in the envelope and put it in the mail. It’s quick and easy.
Visit a Store to Donate a Phone and Learn More about Cell Phone Recycling
Verizon Wireless provides collection bins and information about cell phone recycling through HopeLine at all Communications Stores in Northern California and across the country. Visit a store; drop your phone in the bin and go.
Online Mailing Label Makes Phone Donation Easy
Can’t stop by a Verizon Wireless Communications Store? Print a postage-paid label from the Verizon Wireless Web site at www.verizonwireless.com/hopelinemailinglabel, adhere it to a box or envelope and mail the phone to HopeLine. Seal and send.
