Recycle your old cell phones for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.

 ISES Dallas is partnering with Ultimate Ventures to collect

old cellphones which will be recycled.  For each cell phone received

a monetary donation will be made to the 

Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.

We will be collecting old phones at the September 20th Program at the Hilton Anatole.

If you are unable to join us at the meeting please, 

contact Ultimate Ventures at 972.732.8433 to make other arrangements.

Need Another Reason to Recycle Your Old Cell Phone? 

It Helps the Environment!

Improper disposal of cell phones is a serious threat to our environment. Every cell phone contains no less that
eight hazardous materials, and disposing them in a landfill allows these substances to leach into groundwater and soil. In fact, just one cell phone can pollute up to 35,000 gallons of water. In 2010 alone, more than 130 million cell phones will be discarded. Through this program, old cell phones are given new life; they are refurbished and made available to others in need.
