Cricket is committed to preserve the environment and is proud to introduce Cricket’s National Cell Phone Recycling Program!

Recycling your old Cricket phone is simple. You can:

• Drop off your phone at a participating Cricket Store, or
• Print out a postage paid shipping label and mail us your phone

Here at Cricket we believe that what we do matters and that we can all make a difference; for our environment and in our communities.

Americans discard approximately 130 million cell phones, totaling about 65,000 tons of waste annually. Unfortunately, less than five percent of these phones are recycled. The rest end up in junk or desk drawers, or worse, in landfills. Since a typical phone contains materials like arsenic, zinc and lead, throwing out old cell phones is not only wasteful, it’s dangerous. If disposed of in landfills, these materials can seep into groundwater. If incinerated, the same chemicals end up in the air we breathe. Cricket is committed to preserve the environment by offering a handset recycling program.

Cricket is donating a portion of the proceeds from the phone recycling program to Rebuilding Together. Rebuilding Together, the nation's leading nonprofit working to preserve affordable homeownership and revitalize communities. The focus of the partnership will be to address issues of safety and homeownership among the elderly, the disabled, families with children, and those impacted by shrinking social service budgets and the rising cost of living.
