Funds for phones

Looking for a way to raise money for your school? The EcoPhones Recycling Fundraiser says you can earn cash by asking parents, neighbors, co-workers and local businesses to donate and recycle their used consumer electronics — cell phones, ink jet printer cartridges, laptop computers, iPods and digital cameras.

For project information, go to www.greenschoolfundraiser.org or call 888-ECOPHONE (888-326-7466).
