Cell phone collection ongoing

The Village of Cary will be collecting used working or non-working cell phones at the Cary Village Hall to benefit Turning Point, McHenry County's Social Service Agency serving victims of domestic violence.

Residents can donate their old, out-dated cell phones by bringing them to the Cary Village Hall at 655 Village Hall Drive during regular business hours. These phones will then be reconditioned and usable parts resold, with proceeds benefiting Turning Point and its mission to confront violence against women and children in McHenry County.

All phones, regardless of age or current condition are eligible to be donated and all phones have their memories completely erased. This cell Ppone collection produces multiple positive effects: Donors can eliminate the clutter of non-working phones from their home and also help to support Turning Point, as well as keep these phones from ending up in land fills where their electronic components can be hazardous to the environment.
