Well what happened to that old Nokia you had when the iphone was released? Many cell phones lay lifeless in drawers or boxes or worst landfills. Throughout the month of December, NotTrash along with many of our community friends are asking you to help us make a difference.</span><br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Nationwide, it is estimated that only 1% of retired cell phones are recycled or reused</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Each cell phone that ends up in the landfill can pollute up to 132,000 liters of water</span></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cell phones include all of the following: l</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ead, mercury, cadmium, brominated flame retardants and arsenic and if not recycled all of this will eventually damage our environment and "Fresh" air. </span></span></li>
</ul><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To protect everyones privacy please make sure to delete all personal information before dropping off cell phones to be recycled. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
