Recycle old cell phones

What can you do with an old cell phone? Recycle it! WLFI and Cellular Express are collecting outdated cell phones. I didn't realize this, but the circuit boards in cell phones contain many toxins that can be very harmful to the environment.
Several people brought in phones to be recycled at the Cellular Express office on State Road 38 East on Saturday.
President George Owens told us for this particular program, they are sending the phones into a company called Pace Butler. They will go through and evaluate the phones and they'll cut a check to the Miller Association for Parents for Miller School and that will help fund convocations and field trips and teacher supplemental needs.
If you missed the event on Saturday and have a few phones you'd like to get rid of, drop them off Cellular Express.
