MassRecycle's Cell Phone Donation Program

What on earth are you going to do with your old cell phone? RECYCLE IT! And help people in need.

Donate your old cell phone to MassRecycle through Charitable Recycling's cell phone recycling program. All cell phones, regardless of age or condition, will be accepted. MassRecycle will receive a monetary donation for each phone received.

Donated used cell phones will be refurbished and put to further use. Many phones are donated to shelters for abused adults and children so they may have 911 (emergency only) communication. Charitable Recycling also provides cell phones to medical patients who are awaiting organ transplants. Some phones are refurbished and redeployed in areas of the world where there are no land (wire) lines or where the cost of a new phone is prohibitive. Phones that cannot be refurbished or donated are recycled in an environmentally-responsible manner.

Two Methods for Donating Your Cell Phones to MassRecycle:

1. Mail it in
  • Download the PRE-PAID shipping label.
  • Deactivate your cell phone.
  • Place you cell phone(s) in a box or padded envelope.  (Include the manual(s) and battery (s) if you have them.)  Attach the printed label to the envelope and drop into a mailbox.  No postage is necessary. 
2. Drop it Off:
  • Deactivate your cell phone.
  • Place cell phone and batteries in a plastic bag.
  • Bring your cell phone to any of the collection boxes located on the map below.

Find a Drop-off Location:
Cell phone collection boxes can be found at the following locations in the map.  Click on town for location and contact information.  If a new pop up window does not appear, please disable your popup blocker or go to all dropoff locations.


Can you help MassRecycle grow this program?
MassRecycle is looking into setting up MORE collection sites across Massachusetts. Offices, town halls and transfer statiosn are great places for collection boxes.  The boxes are small and can fit on a tabletop.  All supplies will be delivered to you at no cost, and the program is easy to maintain.  Please contact Megan Harrington at 617-312-5671 or Megan@massrecycle.org if you are interested in setting up a collection box at your office.
