$23,000 will be donated to environmental causes
(August 17, 2023) – Cellcom is now accepting applications for the 2023 Green Gifts program. Through Green Gifts, Cellcom donates proceeds from its cell phone recycling program to local organizations, programs and projects that are dedicated to or support the environment, ranging from environmental education to preservation to sustainability.
“Northeast Wisconsin has an abundance of lakes, rivers, forests, and wildlife. It’s what attracts many of us to the area, whether it’s for our residence or recreation. And it is up to us to protect these natural resources,” said Cindy Durand, senior director of marketing communications, government relations and sustainability at Cellcom. “We’re excited to support nonprofits that are leading the way as environmental stewards. These efforts pave the way for our communities to connect with nature by enhancing natural areas, providing educational programming, and spearheading research efforts.”
Green Gifts complete the green cycle that starts with consumers being environmentally conscious and recycling their old handsets.
“We encourage you to recycle old, unused phones at a local Cellcom location for responsible disposal. This keeps harmful materials out of landfills and supports local organizations of all sizes whose work is positively impacting the community and building a greener tomorrow,” said Durand.
This year a total of $23,000 will be donated across Cellcom’s service area. Applications must be submitted by September 21. The online application and additional criteria can be found at www.cellcom.com/greengifts. Award recipients will be notified in October.
