Recycle Your Old or Unwanted Cell Phones

Recycle Unwanted Cell PhonesI Love A Clean San Diego is collecting old and/or unwanted cell phones, and cell phone accessories, for reuse or recycling. Cell phone donations are tax-deductible, keep harmful toxics out of our environment and save you some drawer space.

The average life span of a cell phone is only 18 months. It is estimated that 16.3 million cell phones become obsolete and are discarded in California landfills every year; that's 44,657 every day!

I Love A Clean San Diego will provide cell phone collection boxes and education for schools, businesses or fundraising groups or people can deliver or mail their unwanted cellular phones to I Love A Clean San Diego at 4891 Pacific Highway, Suite 115; San Diego, CA 92110. For more information please call ILACSD's Recycling Hotline at 1-800-237-2583 or email hotline@ilacsd.org.
