“Since October of 2001 when Verizon Wireless launched its national recycling program, HopeLine has collected more than 3.5 million phones, nationwide. The program has properly disposed of more than 800,000 pieces of wireless equipment in an environmentally sound way, and refurbished the remaining for resale and reuse. Verizon Wireless customers across the country donated a total of 910,000 no-longer-used wireless phones to HopeLine in 2006.” (4/15/07)
