cell phone donation?

does anyone know of anywhere in davis square that takes used cell phone donations (preferably that go to, say, battered women's shelters or some other such use).

The Network La Red accepts cell phone donations (http://www.thenetworklared.org/cellphone.htm).

(If you're unfamiliar, they work to prevent abuse in lesbian, bisexual women's and transgender communities).

I am amused that this post came directly after a post on my friends page in which one of my friends laments that her cell phone just died and she can't easily afford a new one.

But she is in North Carolina, not Davis Square.

The Cambridge DPW yard has a cell phone swap shelf open to Cambridge residents. I know this isn't strictly Davis Square-centric, but I think it's underutilized and good to know about -- see http://www.cambridgema.gov/TheWorks/departments/recycle/pdffiles/dropoff_map.pdf.

I thought Wainwright Bank had a donation bin for this, but I'm not 100% sure.

Whole Foods in Fresh Pond has a cell phone donation bin.

As does the one on Rt. 16 in Medford (http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/StoreLocations.php?storeabbr=MDF).

The Body Shop takes cell phones and donates them to women's shelters. I've been giving them my phones for years! But sorry- they're in Harvard Sq., not Davis.

I think O2 Yoga collects used cell phones that they donate to a women's shelter or some similar organization.
