Recycle Your Cell Phone

Cell Phones Recycle your old cell phone to benefit the Veterans Committee. For each cell phone dropped off for reycling at the township building, the Veterans Committee will earn funds that will go towards a Veterans monument. Please drop off cell phones in the blue bin to the left of the entryway in the lobby. The recycler does not take chargers, or other accessories, only the cell phones. The phones will benefit the needy around the world. These phones can be used as emergency lifelines for senior citizens and women's shelters.
