Put your old cell phones to good use

RMS Communications Group Inc., a leading recycler and re-marketer of old cell phones, has partnered with the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office to raise funds and provide free emergency cell phones for local crime victims and senior citizens.
Under the agreement, the department will collect used cell phones in the community, which will be turned over to RMS for re-marketing through the company’s 911 Cell Phone Bank program, which operates via the www.911CellPhoneBank.com website. In return, RMS will provide the department with 911 phones as well as cash, which will be used to fund various emergency and community service needs.
Residents who have unused cell phones are encouraged to drop them off at the Sheriff’s Office or by calling 731-1481.
“We have already collected about 100 phones,” Sheriff Winders said.
James Mosieur, chief executive officer of RMS, said law enforcement agencies around the country are signing up to participate in the program.
“We started the 911 Cell Phone Bank program more than a year ago, and it has already raised more than a quarter-million dollars for various law enforcement needs,” Mosieur said. “No need is greater than supporting law enforcement agencies.”
Nearly 510 law enforcement and community service organizations nationwide have signed up to participate in the program.
