About Us

Recycle My Cell Phone is a grassroots campaign that seeks to educate consumers about the impacts of their purchases, beginning with the extraction of raw materials through the end of product life.

EARTHWORKS, an environmental non-profit organization has teamed up with CollectiveGood, a leader in responsible cell phone recycling, to either refurbish or recycle your old cell phone using the highest environmental and social standards.

We are inviting others to participate and benefit from the campaign to achieve a critical mass and significantly increase the rate of cell phone recycling---to date, the industry and other collection campaigns combined have recycled less than 2% of retired cell phones.

Reporters looking for a campaign spokesperson and other material can find it here.

Who is EARTHWORKS?

EARTHWORKS is a non-profit organization that works exclusively on resource extraction issues (i.e. mining, drilling and digging). We are leading this campaign to promote public and consumer awareness of the connection between products, their source, and the impacts of their use. We seek to energize public participation, in a hands-on fashion, on environmental issues that affect us all. And have fun doing it!

Who is CollectiveGood?

CollectiveGood creates financially productive partnerships with charities and companies to ensure that the benefits of cell phones are maximized, and their environmental impact is minimized. They have pioneered the concept of providing marketing, operations and logistics support to charities and the private sector to create innovative used mobile phone collection campaigns that are successful in every community.
