This America Recycles Day Help Law Enforcement by Donating Your Old Cell Phone
Ocala, FL (PRWEB) November 6, 2007 -- - Hundreds of law enforcement and victim services agencies nationwide operate emergency cell phone programs which provide emergency mobile communications to senior citizens and victims of abuse.
Through their partnership with the 911 Cell Phone Bank these agencies receive emergency cell phones (http://www.911cellphonebank.org) as needed, along with cash which assists them in funding community based programs aimed at helping seniors and victims of abuse.
Agencies collect cell phones from their community and send them to the 911 Cell Phone Bank where they are processed and valued. The cash value of the donated cell phones is then paid to the agency and emergency cell phones are made available on an as needed basis.
As the weather worsens in much of the country the need for emergency cell phones rises. "Senior citizens are especially concerned about leaving their homes as the winter rolls in," said James Mosieur a Director of the 911 Cell Phone Bank. "A cell phone can provide them with an additional level of security."
Over 11 million cell phones are retired each month in the US and most can easily make it to your local waste stream. This season millions of people will upgrade their old cell phone or receive one as a gift adding to the problem. Donating them to your local Sheriff or Police Department can help people in your community and the environment.
The National Association of Triads, a subsidiary of the National Sheriffs' Association, is a national partner of the 911 Cell Phone Bank. They encourage all law enforcement and victim services agencies to get involved with the 911 Cell Phone Bank.
"The 911 Cell Phone Bank has been a great partner," said Edward Hutchison the Executive Director of NATI. "Having this resource available enables law enforcement to focus on serving the community and lets communities give back in a small but meaningful way."
All citizens are encouraged to donate their cell phone (http://www.911cellphonebank.org) at their local Sheriff's Office or Police Department. You can also donate your phone to support the program general fund by printing off a free shipping label and sending your phone directly to the 911 Cell Phone Bank. For a list of participating agencies and instructions or to print a free shipping label, visit www.911CellPhoneBank.com. This free program is open to all law enforcement and non-profit victim services agencies.

Blackberry Bold Review - The Wave of the Future for Home and Office
For many years Blackberry was the only smartphone available, and it was not designed for personal use. Certainly individuals could use it if they desired, but it was not intended for that purpose. It is highly unlikely that many individuals were interested not only because the price was commercially based but also because it was heavier than the average cell phone, and people just didn't want to tote it with them. In spite of the inconvenience, personal users stayed with text messaging or mobile IM's rather than paying extra for a Blackberry.
