Approximately 4 billion cell phones are in use around the
world. The current recycle rate in the U.S. is estimated at 10%. That
results in about 140 million phones that end up in our landfills each year.
Recycle your old phone. Let Sprint show you how.

Recycling your cell phones with Sprint Project ConnectSM can make a world of difference for kids and the environment. You’ll be helping to keep millions of phones out of landfills. And the net proceeds from all equipment collected will fund and promote free Internet safety resources for kids.
