Who will handle refurbishment, sales and recycling efforts?
Our partner, CollectiveGood attempts to recycle donated phones back, usually into reuse in the developing world (usually Latin America or the Caribbean), where they serve useful, longer lives and offer affordable communications, in many cases offering families their first modern communications. This helps bridge the digital divide, improving the quality of life for people in the developing world, and even helps their economies too. CollectiveGood recycles everything else that cannot be put into reuse. The phones, their batteries, chargers, accessories — even the boxes and donation forms.
