Here's part 4 of an absolutely great article from Kiplinger's on ways to give if you don't have cash:
Don't throw away your old cell phone -- a number of organizations such as the Charitable Recycling Program and Collective Good will gladly take it off your hands. Such groups recycle phones for cash to aid a cause or they may refurbish the phones to distribute to people in need. The Wireless Foundation, for example, refurbishes and distributes phones to victims of domestic violence to use in an emergency. Or you can sell the phone yourself and donate the cash to your favorite charity. CellforCash.com offers $3 to $92 for used cell phones.
This is one of those things I've been meaning to do but never get around to doing it. Anyone out there had success with an organization that takes cell phones? If so, please share your experiences with the rest of us.
