Did you know the number of retired cell phones in the U.S. weigh the same as a US Navy Aircraft Carrier! And the cadmium in a single cell phone battery could contaminate 600,000 liters of water – enough to fill 1/3 of an Olympic size pool. The EPA says that recycling one million cell phones would save enough energy to power almost 2,000 U.S. households. Most of us have 3-5 used cell phones hibernating somewhere and have no idea how to recycle these phones no longer in use. By donating your old cell phones to H.E.L.P. you raise money for our school and help the environment! Simply drop them in the box by the main office.
