Proceeds from the recycling effort will benefit POSTed, a new a Web site by Global Inheritance that provides schools with free posters promoting everything from recycling and exercise to voting and energy conservation. To jump start the program Boost Mobile will donate $5,000 to Global Inheritance.
Participating in Boost Mobile's phone recycling program is hassle free and easy, according to the company. The prepaid envelope is available online to download at www.boostmobile.com or when customers purchase a new Boost phone the envelope will be in the phone box.
Used mobile phones can be in any condition, any brand and do not need to have batteries. Recycling old mobile phone(s) is environmentally friendly and environmentally responsible and by doing so participants can support a charity that believes in educating and empowering youth about the environment and other social issues, the company says.
"Global Inheritance is excited to partner with Boost Mobile to encourage activism through the recycling of cell phones to assist the POSTed campaign in its efforts to empower students and teachers across the world with new ideas in creating a global balance," says Eric Ritz, executive director, Global Inheritance.
Partnering with Global Inheritance is one more step Boost Mobile is taking in being environmentally responsible. In addition, to partnering with Global Inheritance and the launch of the phone recycling program, Boost uses recycled materials for handset packaging and provides customers with phone accessories made from environmentally friendly materials.
