CLARKSBURG - AT&T predicts it will collect and recycle 14 million cell phones by 2011.

The service provider says it actively asks its customers to recycle old phones.

Representatives from AT&T say recycling 14 million cell phones would reduce the same amount of greenhouse gases as removing nearly 5 thousand cars from the road from a year.

Any operable cell phones they get go to the Cell Phones for Soldiers program.

“I think the program is amazing,” claims Matt Nichols of the Clarksburg branch. “I think the fact that you can throw any phone away and you don’t have to worry about them going into landfills, very environmentally conscious decision, and the Cell Phones for Soldiers Program, it supports a great cause by giving the military families the ability to talk while their soldiers are overseas.”

You can donate your old cell phones by dropping them off at the Emily Drive Location or visit the link below.
