Have you got an old mobile phone sitting around in a drawer at home?  Not sure what to do with it? It is estimated that Tasmanians have already amassed around 600,000 unused phones (and more every day!) and it is essential that these do not end up in landfill. Mobile phones contain a cocktail of highly toxic chemicals, which can leach from decomposing waste in landfills, and seep into ground water, contaminate the soil, and enter the food chain. Not good! Cerebral Palsy Tasmania is raising money through the Aussie Recycling Program to collect these unused mobile phones and send them for recycling. For each mobile phone you donate Cerebral Palsy receives $5! So, you are not only doing the right thing for the environment, you are helping to raise money to support people with disabilities in Tasmania. All money raised in Tasmania, stays in Tasmania. RESOURCE WORK COOPERATIVE IS AIMING TO RAISE $10,000 FOR CEREBRAL PALSY BY COLLECTING 2,000 UNUSED MOBILE PHONES. Please tell your family, friends, school and work colleges about this challenge! Mobile phones can be donated at the South Hobart Tip Shop and the Collectables Shop in the CBD. Thank you for your support! |
