At e-Cycle, we are committed to so much more than just being an industry leader in mobile phone recycling. In addition to helping businesses, organizations, and individuals reduce electronic waste in landfills, e-Cycle is very active in the community.

We support a variety of organizations and causes, whether it is through financial contributions or volunteerism. These causes include:

• Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) - the worldwide leader for research to cure type-1 diabetes.
• The Stephanie Spielman Fund – dedicated to helping breast cancer patients and research at Ohio State's Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute through activities and donations,
• Flying Horse Farms - a camp for children with serious illnesses.

It doesn’t just stop with us, though. You can also help out your favorite causes when you recycle cell phones for charity with e-Cycle.

e-Cycle in the Community

Chris Irion, the CEO of e-Cycle, recently spoke to a group of sixth graders at the Columbus Academy about the importance of recycling cell phones. Through interactive questions and prizes, Chris captivated his audience, teaching them about the benefits of mobile phone recycling.

By being active in the community, through charitable causes and public speaking opportunities like the one mentioned above, e-Cycle can continue to educate people on the importance of cell phone recycling. From keeping our landfills clear of electronic waste to protecting one’s private data to making extra cash for getting rid of old cell phones, it is important that we understand all the great reasons for recycling an old cell phone.

When you do recycle your old mobile phones, be sure to do so with e-Cycle. As an industry leader, only we can provide the best possible mobile phone recycling experience. You can make extra cash with us or recycle cell phones for charity, but whichever route you choose, you’ll be glad you did it through e-Cycle.

e-Cycle’s wireless buyback program gives companies the opportunity to recover some of the value of their unwanted devices by selling them to e-Cycle. The money that they receive back can be used to offset the costs of new wireless equipment, go back into the company’s budget for other expenses, or be donated to charity.

Secondary Market for Wireless Devices
Many models of used cell phones and smartphones can be resold on the secondary market. Subject to the laws of supply and demand, consumer preferences for and availability of specific models always play a part in the secondary market prices. In addition, wireless devices depreciate like cars and other durable goods do, so price fluctuations are common. For this reason, it is important that clients send their phones to e-Cycle as soon as possible so that they are able to get the most value for them.

e-Cycle Price List
The e-Cycle price list shows the manufacturer and model of the devices we are currently purchasing, and the price we are paying for them. As a result of the frequent changes in secondary market demand, e-Cycle updates its price list monthly and pays clients based on the current month’s list. Contact an e-Cycle representative at 1-877-215-5255 to receive pricing.

Testing
Devices are tested for functionality and damage before they are resold. If a device does not pass testing, it is recycled. Normal signs of wear and tear are not considered damage.

Audit Report and Payment
Once a client’s shipment to e-Cycle has been processed, the client receives an audit report, and payment for any devices we were able to purchase. The audit report lists the make, model, condition, and value of the devices in the shipment. If a client prefers, we are happy to donate the proceeds from their shipment to charity rather than writing the check to their company.
