"Phones for Food” campaign

Simcoe reports on a cell phone recycling program that offers food in exchange for cell phones.

"Rogers Cable has partnered with food banks across Canada to promote their new “Phones for Food” recycling phone campaign, while generating income for the agencies that provide emergency food assistance every year to hundreds of thousands of Canadians.

... One wireless device, such as a used cell phone, can be worth between two and five dollars – the equivalent of a jar of peanut butter or a carton of milk, said Enzo Facca, director of planning and construction for Rogers."
