We have a new fundraiser going on right now. We are collecting used cell phones and ink cartridges. This is another easy way to donate to and support the APSFA without making a monetary donation. The average American family has 3 old cell phones in their home.

Phoneraiser was founded in 2003 to provide an environmentally responsible way to raise funds for a wide variety of organizations. We strive to be a leader in fundraising by offering an innovative and simple venue to dispose of potentially hazardous cellular waste.

Did you know?

Numbers of phones: Used cell phones are plentiful! Inform, an independent research organization, issued a study explaining that there are more than 500 million used, out-of-commission and obsolete cell phones in homes and offices across America.

Environmental hazards: If not disposed of properly, cell phones are damaging to our air, soil and water:

• One cell phone can pollute up to 132,000 liters of water.

• Cell phones (and other electronic devices) contain toxic substances such as arsenic, lead, cadmium, and beryllium that can pollute the air when burned in incinerators and leach into soil and drinking water when buried in landfills.

• Cadmium can damage the kidneys and it is transfered through the air and through our food.

• Lead Accumulates in land fills and can cause damage to the central and peripheral nervous systems.

• Mercury gets into our water supply and accumulates in living organisms and travels up the food chain. The principal exposure pathway is through our food and it causes brain damage.

• Phoneraiser campaigns are good for our environment because all collected cell phones and electronic devices are either refurbished or disposed of using only the most ecologically sound methods.

Phoneraiser now accepts used M3P players, digital cameras, and video game handhelds along with cell phones and some used in cartridges.

If you have phones to send, now is the time! The Phoneraiser partner who sends in the most phones by, April 18th, will win $1,000.
Please visit www.phoneraiser.com/earthday for more details.

Please contact us for more information or for how to set up a collection box in your area!
