Sure, cell phones don't relate to Mpls Issues but how about the Harriet
Tubman connection?
I just upgraded my family's cell phone service and ended up with two
no-longer-needed analog phones. Not wanting to add to the trash pile (those
things must have nasty stuff in them, anyway) I tried to find a recycler or
re-user.
Maybe some folks already knew this but I didn't. Many women's shelters can
use unwanted cell phones, analog or digital. Apparently they're always good
for emergency 911 service, even without subscribing to a provider. I checked
with the Harriet Tubman Center and they are happy to take any kind of
cellular phone you want to get rid of. I suspect others will too.
Incidentally, I'm just curious. Anybody know where you would recycle these
phones, say if it were totally unusable?
