Just like almost everyone else that has owned a cell phone, I have several old phones tucked away in a drawer, never to be used again. Why go in reverse, as technology improves? (Now I do have some quarrels with certain things that technology is taking over that I don't agree with, but that's a whole other story, and nothing related to what I'm talking about today). I think to myself, "well there may come that day when I'll need a cell phone because you never know what will happen to the one I'm currently using". But the fact of the matter is, I have insurance I pay for on a monthly basis, so whatever happens to my cell phone, for the most part, will be covered under this insurance and the phone company will provide me a new phone. That being fact, I have no reason to keep my old cell phones. I've thought of selling them before, and have taken no steps in pursuing that. So it's time to get rid of them.

I actually was searching for ways to give back last night, because I was short a day, and during my search I came across a website where you can donate old cell phones. Pacebutler is accepting cell phone donations to help raise funds for several organizations. Once you're on their website, you select the organization you would like your donation to help, fill out a form with your information, and they provide you a mailing label, so you can ship your cell phones to them for free. When they receive your cell phone(s), they appraise their value, and send your choosen organization a check for your donation.

Many times, we keep cell phones because we don't know how to dispose of them properly, don't want to take the time to find out how, or we have preconceived notions on what we'll do with those unused cell phones, such as I did, that we will never follow through with. By donating, you're helping save other people's lives. So why would you keep your cell phone tucked away in that drawer any longer? And free shipping?? Go find all the cell phones you can and send them on their way!
