GRC Wireless Recycling Celebrates Five Years of Responsible Cell Phone Recycling
Miramar, FL (PRWeb) February 1, 2007 -- Recycling industry leader GRC Wireless Recycling announced the achievement of five years of responsible cell phone recycling. Through its suite of fundraising, scrap recycling, and asset recovery programs, GRC promotes socially responsible wireless recycling programs that offer significant financial return to its participants. More than 2,600 organizations in 50 states, Canada, and Puerto Rico, as well as thousands more supporting businesses, have participated in GRC’s cell phone recycling programs. Since December 2001, the company has recycled over 2 million handsets and contributed over $4 million to participating organizations.
“For the past five years, we have played in important role in the recycling and fundraising efforts of community based organizations throughout North America,” said Henry Garcia, founder and CEO of GRC Wireless Recycling. “We are also satisfied in knowing that we are contributing to a worthwhile environmental cause. We are very enthusiastic about our next five years.”
GRC’s flagship program, Shelter Alliance (www.shelteralliance.net), was founded in 2002 to meet the recycling and fundraising needs of domestic violence shelters that collected phones from their communities. Today, more than 80% of the domestic violence shelters in the United States actively use Shelter Alliance as a recycling and fundraising resource. Recycling Alliance was founded in 2004 to meet the recycling and fundraising needs of schools, religious and community organizations. Both programs attract significant support from the private sector, as businesses nationwide recycle cell phones with GRC to benefit nonprofit participants.
GRC additionally offers programs for wireless industry companies. The company’s Wireless Scrap Recycling and Wireless Asset Recovery programs offer wireless retailers, manufacturers and distributors a profitable solution for their stockpiles of outdated wireless handsets and boards.
