Ask your teacher if you can work on a project to have all the kids at school bring in the old cell phones that their parents don’t want any more. You can collect the phones (including the chargers) and send them to cell phone recycler called Capstone Wireless, who is an e-Steward. Some of the phones will have some trade in value, so Capstone will send some money back to the school. They also provide a prepaid shipping label for sending them the phones.]]> 2019-02-12 22:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/rgallo96/mk5q6mt79cab/wish/330589059 Broken Phone? rgallo96 https://padlet.com/rgallo96/mk5q6mt79cab/wish/330590070 Maybe you can fix it!
