Cell Phones

Did you know your old cell phone could be worth up to $30!?

We collect used/unwanted cell phones from the community and send them to
a company that refurbishes or recycles the phones and then sends the
WCRI a check for the value of the phones. We collect any and all cell
phones of any age, make or model and in any condition. Please leave the
phones only as we do not collect chargers, belt clips, or hands-free
devices. Those items are not recyclable and will end up being thrown
away.

Collect Phones for Us
We are always looking for locations in Providence with parking and/or
are easy to access for our donors to drop in and donate their used cell
phones. Please contact Barbara Lee at 401-861-2761 x134 or
Blee@womenscenterri.org if you would like more information.
