Have an old cell phone? Want to dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way and support DAIS at the same time? Ancora’s can help.
DAIS continues to collect used cell phones which are recycled or disposed of in an environmentally sound way. DAIS partners with Shelter Alliance and receives a return on every phone turned in. Last year over $6,000 was earned through the cell phone drive. Drop off your unused phone at the Ancora locations on King Street or University Avenue.
