RECYCLE
YOUR OLD CELL PHONE TO HELP THE TROOPS -- AND NOW
CARTRIDGES, LAPTOPS, & PDA'S TOO!
Here's
how to give those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan
the Welcome Home! they deserve:
Recycle
& Reward (R&R) is a program supported by Veterans
Advantage to deliver new service benefits to thank
and reward our troops. 
R&R has partnered with a recycler that will accept other items in addition to used cell phones to raise funds for our Recycle & Reward program. R&R
will now collect:
- empty inkjet printer and toner cartridges
- used laptop computers
- old Palm Pilots, and
PDA’s
- used cell phones
Note: These items all contain toxic elements that are environmentally hazardous if they are simply discarded and buried in our landfills.
Cartridges: You
can send your old empty inkjet and toner cartridges
from any major brand printer except toner “tubes” and
Epson inkjets (Epson laser cartridges are fine.)
Put them back into their original boxes or wrap in
newspaper and put in a plastic bag to ship to us.
Laptops: You
can send your old laptop for R&R as long as it is in fair condition (ripped or broken screens have no value.) Please include the old power cord and other accessories and insert all into plastic bags before boxing up with bubble wrap or newspaper wrapping. Don’t
worry about any old content on the hard drive. Our
recycling partner wipes the information off all the hard
drives, so any old records will be erased.
Palm Pilots: You
can send your old Palm Pilot for R&R if it has a color screen. Please include the old power cord and any additional accessories. Of greatest value to our Recycle & Reward
program is used Palm Pilots that were designed to
also function as cell phones. Please put in a plastic
bag and wrap with padding like bubble wrap or old
newspaper to protect during shipping.
Cell Phones: Make
sure you deactivate your service before sending an
old phone. R&R cannot be held responsible for
unauthorized use of an active phone.
Shipping Guidelines: Sending a lot of stuff? Our recycler will pay for your shipment!
