Drop off old, unwanted cell phones at Clean Calgary
September 14, 2007- Cell phone recycling programs, including one set up by the Clean Calgary Association, attempt to prevent cell phones from fouling our soil and water by keeping them out of the landfill.
- According to INFORM Inc., cell phones are replaced every 18 months and less than 5% are recycled. This means that, in Canada alone, roughly 14 million cell phones enter the waste stream every 18 months.
- Call Clean Calgary to set up a cell phone collection week at your workplace or school.
