The Starship Mobile Phone Appeal uses the funds generated by the recycling of old cell phones in order to help to pay for the Air Ambulance Service that allows children from anywhere in the whole of New Zealand to be brought to the Starship Children\u2019s Hospital in order to receive specialist medical treatment, and has committed itself to giving one and a half million dollars to the Service on an annual basis.<\/p>\n

Used cell phones that are donated are graded, recorded and stored before being sent to recycling outlets overseas where they are repackaged and reprogrammed and then sold to developing countries.  Freepost envelopes in which the general public can send in their old cell phones free of charge are located at places such as ASB Bank, Barfoot & Thompson and Telecom, Vodafone, The Warehouse and Warehouse Stationery stores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
