• Over 140 million cell phones are retired in the
  US each year, while the number recycled is less
  than 10. A significant number of the retired
  cell phones are tossed into landfills adding to
  water and soil contamination.
• The problem has drawn national attention. Many
  communities, including the States of California,
  Maine and New York, have outlawed improper cell
  phone disposal. These communities consider cell
  phones to be hazardous waste.
• Community safety and domestic violence issues
  plague every corner of the nation.
• The 911 Cell Phone bank marries all these factors
  that harm the community into a simple program
  that brings benefit.
