Calling Home Because of You

Cell Phones for Soldiers and Marshall Public Library would like to thank the Pocatello community for their generous support and donations of used cell phones. Phones and components that cannot be refurbished are dismantled and recycled to reclaim materials, including:
• Gold, silver, and platinum from circuit boards
• Copper wiring from phone chargers
• Nickel, iron, cadmium, and lead from battery packs
• Plastic from phone cases and accessories
Over 500 phones have been brought in. That is approximately 32,280 minutes for our soldiers to call home. We are still taking cell phones. The donation box is located on the first floor of the library. One cell phone equals one hour of talk time for a soldier abroad. For more information visit www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com.
