[Hidden-tech] Cell Phone Recycling

Women's shelters used to take them.  FCC regs say that any working cell
phone that dials 911 - whether it has a paid service plan or not - must be
connected.  It's the sort of thing that folks finding themselves at a
shelter unexpectedly might find useful.

One of the major carriers - either Verizon or AT&T - used to have a program
that reconditioned phones for troops overseas.  I don't know if that program
still exists - and which job it was that I offloaded our retired phones into
this program for.

It's been a while since I've had to offload a working phone, the last few
I've retired were fit only for responsible disposal.  You may want to check
that this information is still current before acting.
