Motorola launches school mobile phone recycling program
Motorola Inc. hopes to collect 1 million used mobile phones through a fund-raising program that will help schools raise money for scholastic and extracurricular activities. The "Race to Recycle" program will pay accredited K-12 U.S. schools $3 per intact phone, up to a maximum of $21,000 for each school year. Motorola will take back phones from any manufacturer. The rollout of the program follows a successful pilot program started in March 2004. Motorola´s goal is to collect 1 million used cell phones by the end of the 2004-2005 school year.
