America Recyles Day Recycle & Trade-in Options from Verizon

In honor of America Recycles Day on Nov. 15,
Verizon Wireless suggests customers use either of two options to recycle their
old phones- HopeLine or Verizon Wireless Trade-In.

Customers can donate their no-longer-used wireless phones
and accessories to HopeLine from Verizon to benefit victims of domestic
violence or participate in the Trade-In Program, which allows customers
from any wireless carrier to trade in their no-longer-used wireless
devices for gift cards and help the environment at the same time.

HopeLine
from Verizon collects no-longer-used wireless phones, batteries
and accessories in any condition from any wireless service provider and
turns them into support for those affected by domestic violence.
 Proceeds from the HopeLine program are used to provide wireless phones
and airtime to victims of domestic violence and cash grants to local
shelters and non-profit organizations that focus on domestic violence
prevention, awareness and advocacy. Phones that cannot be refurbished
are recycled in an environmentally sound way under a zero-landfill
policy.

Individuals
looking to make a difference on America Recycles Day can also
participate in the  Verizon Wireless Trade-In Program. 

In just four steps, customers can determine the appraised value of
their devices based on the make, model and condition of the device, and
receive a gift card from Verizon Wireless.  Verizon Wireless gift cards
will arrive within 2 weeks of receipt of the phone and can be used
toward the purchase of phones and accessories or to pay Verizon Wireless
bills.  Phones that have no appraised value can still be sent in for
recycling.
