Cell phone recycling helps victims of domestic violence

Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County is seeking cell phones for its clients. Cell phones even without service can call 911 when charged. Donated cell phones will be given to victims of domestic violence to keep them safe.

Older phones or phones that are broken or that are missing chargers will be sent to phone recyclers who pay from 50 cents to $20 per phone. Money received from phone recycling is used to help fund programs for victims of domestic violence and their children.

Phones may be dropped off at the DVS office, 1310 Pacific Ave., Suite 5, in Everett, or at other locations listed on the DVS Web site at www.dvs-snoco.org, or call Julie Martin at 425- 259-2827 x13 or e-mail her at julie@dvs-snoco. org.
