Battery removal from the unit is not required. Loose batteries without a unit will not be accepted.
Cell Phones For Soldiers is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to providing cost free communication services and emergency funding to active duty military members and veterans. This organization uses proceeds from donated cell phones to purchase international calling cards for troops calling home. They also provide emergency funding to veterans. Since 2004, this charity has provided more than 400 million minutes of air time to US servicemen and women deployed around the world, while recycling more than 25 million cell phones and reducing the impact on landfills.
