The Town of Neepawa is now part of the Recycle My Cell program. Most of us have owned on average three or four cell phones prior to our current one. That means that a lot of us likely have a slew of old devices that are either getting hidden away in junk drawers or disposed of incorrectly.

The Town of Neepawa has joined Recycle My Cell, Canada's free cell phone recycling program, making it easy to dispose of your old devices responsibly. A drop off box is located at the municipal office, 275 Hamilton Street, where old wireless devices and their accessories will be accepted, regardless of brand or condition. After your device is received, it is sent to a processor where it can be refurbished or broken down and recycled.
The Town of Neepawa encourages members of the community to take a few moments to reflect on some of the simple things they can do to help protect the environment for future generations. Thinking green doesn't need to be complicated and keeping old cell phones out of our landfills couldn't be easier!
Help the Town of Neepawa go green by dropping off your old cell phones! Accepted items include: cell phones, smart phones, wireless PDAs and pagers (as well as their batteries and accessories). For more information on the program, visit www.recyclemycell.ca.
