Visit a Verizon Wireless Communications Store to Donate Old Phones to HopeLine®

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — In honor of Earth Day, CWG, LLC, the leading recycler of mobile devices serving the telecommunications industry, and Verizon Wireless are encouraging consumers to visit Verizon Wireless Communications Stores to recycle their phones with HopeLine®, Verizon Wireless’ long-running phone recycling and reuse program. Phones recycled through HopeLine benefit and support survivors of domestic violence.

“We are proud to work with Verizon Wireless year-round on its HopeLine program and wanted to remind people that it’s a great time to embrace the concept of reuse,” said Daniel McGuire, executive vice president of CWG. “We thought it fitting to celebrate by taking back throughout Mother Earth’s birthday month.”

CWG is a global repurposing source for mobile devices that maintains a strict zero-landfill policy. All donated phones are given a second life through repair, refurbishment or environmentally sound recycling. Recycled phones are salvaged down to the component level for all reusable materials such as precious metals, plastics and glass. These materials can then be recycled into things like magnets, stainless steel, car bumpers, park benches, jewelry, dental fillings and musical instruments.
