[font "Arial"]BROOKLYN CENTER, MN—Wildlife Forever is offering you a unique chance to earn a tax deduction, prevent toxic waste, support conservation and help battered women's shelters by recycling your used cell phone. Donate your phone to Wildlife Forever and you'll get a tax deduction for the phone's value (the IRS says you must determine the value). Plus, you'll prevent it from being thrown in the garbage, where a phone's toxic materials leach into the soil and water. [/font]
Wildlife Forever receives a cash payment for each phone it recycles, and will use those funds for its fish and wildlife conservation programs.
Better still, suitable phones are refurbished and donated to battered women's shelters or to people in third-world countries, where land lines are not available. Those that can't be refurbished are disassembled and properly disposed of.
Send your used phone to: Cell Phone Recycling, Wildlife Forever 2700 Freeway Blvd. #1000, Brooklyn Center MN 55430. It is critical that you include your name, mailing address and phone model on a piece of paper so the organization can acknowledge your donation and will have proof of the donation for the IRS.
