In celebration of Earth Day (April 22), Nebraskans with no-longer-used wireless phones and accessories are encouraged donate them, in any condition, to Verizon Wireless’ HopeLine recycling program.
In Lancaster County, for every wireless phone donated to the HopeLine program between April 22 and June 30, Verizon Wireless will make a contribution to Friendship Home – a 24-hour emergency shelter for battered women and their children in Lincoln.
Through the company’s award-winning HopeLine program, Verizon Wireless collects wireless phones and accessories from any wireless service provider. Most of the donated phones and accessories are refurbished and sold with proceeds going to support domestic violence awareness and prevention programs. Any remaining phones are recycled in an environmentally sound way.
Residents and area businesses can donate handsets, batteries and accessories at the Verizon Wireless Communications Store located at the Gateway Mall, 6100 O St. and at drop-off boxes at participating businesses and organizations throughout Lincoln and Lancaster County. A list of drop-off locations is available online at its website under the About Us tab. Volunteers from local chapters of Kiwanis International will collect the equipment from the drop-off locations.
