It is a non-profit organization that recycles the cell phones for money and turns that money into calling cards for our men and women serving in the US Air Force, Army, Marine Corps and Navy serving in an overseas location (mostly deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan). You can use a prepaid envolope provided by Cellphones for Soldiers or you can save them a little more by paying your own shipping. http://www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com/about.html As an active duty military member myself, I donate my old cell phone to Cellphones for Soldiers.

If not, it's broken down for proper recycling. But unfortunately, you don't get $$$ like the Amazon.com way.

The amazon thing is new to me, that's a cool find. I have just kept old phones just in case I lose the new one and need one. A lot of times you can donate it or try to sell.

I've seen some "Cell phones for soldiers" type of dropboxes, where old phones are converted into calling cards for soldiers oversees, but didn't know this was even another option. Great post, thanks!
