Recycle Your Cell Phones and Other Electronic Waste at the New America Foundation

The New America Foundation's Open Technology Initiative invites you to recycle your old electronics in the downstairs lobby of our Washington, DC office for a sustainable environment and a good local cause.  The address is 1899 L St. NW, Washington, DC.

As a part of our work on environmental justice and electronic waste, OTI is working with Eco-Cell to recycle consumer electronic waste. This includes:

• Cell phones

• Cell phone accessories

• iPods and MP3 players

• Handheld game systems

• GPS handheld units

• Laptops

• E-readers

• Portable hard drives

Eco-Cell gives money for the waste they receive, and to exercise our commitment to environmental justice and working with the community here in DC, we decided to donate the proceeds from this program (when they come) to the Potomac River Watershed Cleanup.

Please find attached a flyer indicating where you can drop off your electronic waste, and what the cause is. Be sure to delete all personal data from your devices before you recycle them!
