Cell Phone Recycling Week ends today

Today is the last day for Cell Phone Recycling Week, a project started by the Environmental Protection Agency that brings together manufacturers and service providers.

The program is a partnership between government and business to encourage customers to recycle used cell phones, which would reduce the piles of reusable materials in landfills.

AT&T offers two ways to donate phones - drop-off points at any of the 2,000-plus AT&T Wireless stores or by downloading free shipping labels from www.att.com/wireless.

The phones would be shipped to Cell Phones for Soldiers (CPFS), a charity that recycles used phones and uses the proceeds to purchase phone cards for troops overseas.
