Donate Your Old Cell Phone

Did you know that less than 1% of cell phones in the US are recycled? “Retired” cell phones which are not recycled and end up in landfills have the potential to leak toxic chemicals into the ground.

But those used cell phones can help make a positive difference for those in need.

Now you can benefit HAWC and senior citizens in Essex County by donating your old cell phone.

First, HAWC needs a limited number of working cell phones, along with chargers, for emergency (911) use by our clients. In addition, Sheriff Frank Cousins needs working cell phones, along with chargers, to distribute to senior citizens throughout Essex County for emergency (911) use as part of the Sheriff’s TRIAD program.

Second, HAWC will be paid for any donated cell phones which are not needed for either HAWC’s clients or Sheriff Cousins’ TRIAD program. So, if you have a cell phone you are no longer using, please drop it off at one of the sites shown below, and please, remember to include the battery!

It is a quick and easy process which can provide you with a valuable tax deduction. You will avoid the hassle and expense of trying to sell the vehicle on your own and you will further the cause of HAWC by providing essential support and financial assistance.   

If you have a car, truck, van, ATV or boat that you no longer want, consider calling "Cars Helping America" at:1-866-WHY-DON8 or visit www.carshelpingamerica.org.

Indicate that you wish to support HAWC.  Follow the very simple procedures and Cars Helping America will do the rest.  Call Alicia Weaver at 978 744-2299 Ext. 27 if you have any questions. 

Thank you for considering this option.
