Donate Your Old Cell Phone to Help U.S. Soldiers

Donate your used or broken cellular telephones and help soldiers stay in contact with their families. The Wayne Police Department is collecting used or broken cellular telephones for a non-profit organization called Cell Phones for Soldiers. Cell Phones for Soldiers

Cell Phones for Soldiers takes the donated used or broken cellular telephones and sends them to ReCellular which recycles them. ReCellular pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for the used cell telephones which then purchases pre-paid phone cards for our soldiers stationed abroad. The pre-paid phone cards provide soldiers with one hour of talk time to talk to their families.

Cell Phones for Soldiers was founded by teenagers Robbie and Brittany Bergquist from Norwell, Massachusetts, with $21 of their own money. Since then, the registered 501c3 non-profit organization has raised almost $2 million in donations and distributed more than 500,000 prepaid calling cards to soldiers serving overseas.

Drop off your used cell phones at the Wayne Police Department 24 hours a day or at any City of Wayne government building during normal business hours. For more information about the program and its benefits to our troops, see the website Cell Phones for Troops.
