FAQ's

Tax Deductible Donation Acknowledgement
We will issue you a tax donation receipt for all donations.

How do I tell the difference between an ink jet cartridge
and a toner cartridge?
Ink jet cartridges are compact and will fit in the palm of your hand.
Toner cartridges are large and bulky, usually about the size of a loaf
of bread. If it fits in the palm of your hand it is an ink jet cartridge.

What happens to any information stored in the cell phones?
Many of the cell phones we receive are destroyed and recycled
according to EPA guidelines. This process effectively destroys all
information stored in the cell phones. In the event a cell phone is
refurbished and resold for reuse each phone is 'flashed',
i.e. software unlocks each phone enabling it to be reprogrammed.
This process wipes the phone's memory clean and enables a new
number to be assigned.

However, EcoPhones strongly recommends that donors
clear the memories on their cell phones of any sensitive private
information before donating them. In addition, donors should
always ensure the service on any cell phone they donate has been
disconnected, to prevent fraudulent use. EcoPhones will not be
responsible for any information left stored in the memories of
phones donated or their fraudulent use.

Laptop / Notebook Computers?
All laptop computers sent to EcoPhones have their hard drives
immediately removed and destroyed. You may remove and keep
your own hard drive if you wish.
