Individuals

Everyone needs to raise money at some time in their lives. There are many reasons that individuals conduct their own Phoneraiser; to raise money for their soccer team, their Boy Scout and Girl Scout troop, their relative who needs help paying medical bills, their family vacation fund, and many more. The list is endless because anyone can conduct our fundraiser for any reason. Some people collect cell phones/smartphones and inkjet cartridges in their neighborhood just to keep them out of the water supply. Many of our Collection Partners have more than one Phoneraiser going at the same time for different groups that they belong to. Click here for more fundraising ideas for individuals.

The average household in the U.S. contains three used cell phones. Many owners keep these used phones because they don’t know how to dispose of them properly. This adds up to over 500 million used cell phones/smartphones  in the U.S.

Program Rules

To help you raise the most funds possible, Phoneraiser must receive cell phones/smartphones, inkjet cartridges and aircards that can be refurbished and/or recycled. We assume that participants will collect cell phones/smartphones, inkjet cartridges, and air cards from donors that no longer need them, and that the majority of cell phones/smartphones, inkjet cartridges and aircards collected will be in good working order.

A Phoneraiser drive is not designed to collect a large number of cell phones/smartphones and/or inkjet cartridges and/or aircards that possess no monetary value from commercial interests. If your group is approached by an organization that wants to give you a large number of worthless cell phones and/or inkjet cartridges, please refer them to Phoneraiser, and we will make arrangements to safely dispose of their materials.

Where, at the sole discretion of Phoneraiser, it is determined that a group has collected a large number of cell phone/smartphones, inkjet cartridges, and aircards that are only fit for disassembly and thus have no monetary value, Phoneraiser retains the right to return the shipments of these phones/smartphones and inkjet cartridges and to discontinue the sender’s participation in the program.

Subject to the conditions outlined above, the key terms of the program are as follows:

  • Prices: Specific prices can be found on our cell phone/smartphone price list. Any non-qualifying cell phones/smartphone, inkjet cartridges & aircards will be recycled according to EPA guidelines.
  • Qualifying for Payment: Qualifying cell phones/smartphones and inkjet cartridges can be found on our cell phone/smartphones price list. The prices on the list refer to cell phones/smartphones that can power up, make a test call, have an undamaged LCD screen, and are not damaged beyond normal wear. Cartridges must not be broken, i.e. cartridge case, circuitry, or print head. Refilled cartridges are considered broken. Please pack carefully. Remember, you can send all types of cell phones/smartphones and/or inkjet cartridges to Phoneraiser. If they do not qualify, they will be recycled according to EPA guidelines.
  • Shipping Charges: Shipping costs are free to the participant through the use of the provided prepaid shipping labels, which are mailed as soon as you register. Phoneraiser covers the cost of ground shipping only.
  • Cell/Smart Phone Batteries: Please send us any batteries you collect. Batteries are the most environmentally damaging parts of cell phones/smartphones and should be recycled according to EPA guidelines.
  • Accessories other than Batteries: Phoneraiser does not accept accessories such as chargers, manuals, earpieces, etc. Boxes filled primarily with these items will be charged a $30 shipping fee. However, please always include batteries with the cell phones/smartphones, as the battery contains many toxic substances and should be properly recycled.
  • Shipping Boxes: You can use any sturdy box to send us your cell phones/smartphones and inkjet cartridges. We will recycle the box after we receive your shipment.
  • Privacy Policy: Phoneraiser will not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
  • Email Addresses: We primarily communicate with you by email. If your email changes, please give us your new one promptly. This will allow us to provide you with important program information such as shipment receipt confirmation. Phoneraiser does not share your information with third parties.
  • Payment Terms: Phoneraiser will issue and send a check to your organization within 10 days of receiving your shipment.
