The Cell Phone Recycling Program:
How it Works
• We will ship collection boxes to your location(s) that are coded to your account.
• Place the box and poster in a visible location and start recycling all cell phones. Please accept all makes and models, as well as the chargers, batteries, and accessories.
• Once the box is full of phones, securely tape all the box edges for shipment and then call for pick up or give it to your delivery person; shipping is FREE. Please see the label on the side of the box.
• This is an ongoing program. At the beginning of each month we will send you updated pricing list and a report detailing the type and quantity of phones you sent in last month. The payments are mailed out within the first 5 - 10 business days of each month.
• Please do not send in cordless home phones or inkjet cartridges; we can help you find a recycler in your area that will take these materials.

Our main goal at Tellworks is to keep cell phones out of the landfills. Cell phones contain lead, arsenic, beryllium and other hazardous toxins that leach into our environment through our landfills.
The cell phones collected from this program are either refurbished and reused or smelted down for metals and plastics at an EPA regulated facility that is ISO 14001 certified.
