Donate Your Old Cell Phone
You Can Turn Your Cell Phone into Donation Dollars
On average, Americans replace their cell phones every eighteen months. This affects the Pacific Ocean and all water, as the cadmium from one cell phone battery is capable of polluting over 158,000 gallons of water.
By dropping your cell phone off at the vault outside our main entrance or at our Information Desk you can turn your cell phone into donation dollars for the Aquarium! By partnering with Eco-Cell we have ensured that even non-working phones will be properly recycled. If you have any questions, or if you are interested in becoming a Cell Phone Collection site on behalf of the Aquarium, please call (562) 951-1662.
