Phones For Haiti-Cell Phone recycling program for Disaster Relief


We all heard the devisating news of the Earthquick that hit Haiti.well there's a way you can help.. buy sending old cellphones! read on and see if its something you might be interested in.

Everyone in this globe started this New Year with lots of hope and dreams but the nature has shown its hard face to the people of Haiti. I’m reminding you all about Haiti earthquake that took place recently which is supposed to be a cold blooded murder by nature

The January 12th earthquake in Haiti has left an estimated 3 million people hurt or homeless and the death rate increases daily as many are still buried under debris. You can help them by recycling your used phones.

There are an estimated 130 million phones retired in the United States every year. If even a small percentage of them are sent to Phones for Haiti, it would contribute millions of dollars towards relief from the devastating earthquake.

3 simple steps to do:

•Gather all makes and models of cell phones.
•Print Pre-paid shipping Label, shipping is free.
•Mail the packed phones in envelope or box and affix label.
ReCellular will give 100% of the phone value as a contribution to the American Red Cross; charities like the March of Dimes and Susan G. Komen for the Cure have already earned more than $10 million dollars in contributions through their partnerships with ReCellular.

With rescue and repair missions already underway, it is critical that funds get to the region quickly. By using the postage paid label, supporters can have their used phones sent to ReCellular within just a few days, allowing for the rapid distribution of funds. All phones are accepted, though newer phones will provide the most value to the charity – in some cases $100 or more.

If your package weighs more than 3 lbs (about 8 phones), please call or email us to arrange an alternative shipping method – PLEASE DO NOT USE A USPS SHIPPING LABEL.
