Don’t worry if they are

outdated or not in working order. We can’t help you clean the basement, but we can make donating those phones and accessories you find quick and easy.Phones2Water offers several free ways to unload your unused phones: mail in your phone with the pre-paid label, drop-off your phone, have a phone drive at your work, school, church or civic organization.

Want to help more?

Individuals: Consider paying your own postage when sending in your phone.  The more we save on postage, the more we can spend on clean water initiatives.

Organizations: Become a phone drop-off location by placing a Phones2Water counter card with restock-able return mailer bags in a high traffic area of your organization. Donors can rip off a return mailer bag, place the phone inside, close with the bag with the self seal and leave the mailer bag in your out going mail. When you run out of bags gives Phones2Water a call and they’ll send you more!
