Women of the ELCA has teamed up with the Women’s Funding Network and the Good Deed Foundation to recycle 250,000 cell phones by May 1, 2009! Money raised through the recycling campaign will be used to:
1. Support programs that lift women and families out of poverty;
2. Help provide lasting solutions to climate change, a major contributor to poverty worldwide; and
3. Provide 911 emergency phones for senior citizens and people at risk.
In the United States alone, more than half a billion cell phones are no longer being used and are ready for recycling, and another 11 million phones are added to that total every month!
Participation is easy! Just drop off your old cell phone in the recycling box located in the Parish Hall of the church. Learn more by going to www.gooddeedfoundation.org/welca.

This sounds like a brilliant idea and a great reason to do some phone recycling for cash, that will go to a worthwhile cause. I hope this gets people recycling and the campaign's a success!
