Need a Green Fundraiser?

Interested in an easy fundraiser that doesn’t involve buying or selling ANYTHING? Learn how your facility, school or organization can cash in on those outdated, used up or broken electronics that have been gathering dust and taking up space!

Looking for a great way to raise thousands of dollars for your school or center? The EcoPhones Recycling Fundraiser pays up to $300 per cell phone, depending on the item. There’s nothing to buy and nothing to sell. Simply ask parents, neighbors, coworkers and local businesses to donate and recycle their used consumer electronics:

Earn cash for every item -- guaranteed! They even pay for damaged, non-working and non-listed models.

According to the Consumer Electronics Association, the average U.S. household owns 25 consumer electronics devices. With more than 150 million used cell phones stockpiled in U.S. households, the EcoPhones Recycling Fundraiser is much easier and more profitable than you may think. In addition, EcoPhones provides FREE customizable marketing materials and free shipping from anywhere in the U.S., including Alaska. Join the more than 32,000 schools, clubs and churches that have raised much-needed funds for their organizations.
