In keeping with our mission goals,
Higher Learning Network is proud to announce a new, environmentally responsible community service initiative designed to benefit YOUTH while simultaneously helping to alleviate the fast growing environmental problem of e-waste in the workplace. But we need your help…

Simply dust off your old cell phone or laptop computer and drop it off with your designated Higher Learning Network representative. 100% of the proceeds from the recycling of these items will benefit HLN/Youth Media Training Programs

For more information please contact:

About Cellular Phone Waste
Over 100 million cellular phones are stockpiled in U.S. households creating potentially hazardous waste. By 2008, an estimated 130 million cellular phones will be discarded annually in the U.S. alone. On average Americans replace their cell phones every 12 to 18 months.


Unfortunately, cell phones contain eight toxic substances including: Arsenic, Antimony, Beryllium, Cadmium, Copper, Lead, Nickel and Zinc. Although benign when properly refurbished or recycled by companies such as Recycling Fundraiser, these toxic substances pose a serious environmental and health risk if discarded improperly. Cell phone toxins leach into soil and groundwater from landfills and form highly toxic dioxins & furans during incineration. In fact, the cadmium from a single phone is capable of polluting 158,200 gallons of water. That's 1.2 Million 16-ounce coffees! These toxins have been associated with cancer and range of reproductive, neurological and developmental disorders.

About Laptop Computer Waste
It takes about six hundred pounds of fossil fuels and chemicals to create the chips for one personal computer. Seventy pounds of water are used to rinse out impurities in a single chip. The amount of waste generated to produce one laptop is close to 4,000 times its weight. When you throw away a 5-pound laptop you are throwing away roughly 20,000 pounds of waste.

Everything you do does make a difference!


Every time you donate to Higher Learning Network, you donate to yourself!

How? Simple.

The Law of Karma is in effect.

What goes around, comes around.

Every piece of furniture, electronics or jewlery

you donate to the cause gets recycled and someone is able to breath better because a tree wasn't cut down, land wasn't destroyed and the soiled in which we grow our food is not contaminated!

You also help someone find their purpose and passion, as well as help keep a kid off the street! Remember Columbine? Yes, your donation does matter!

Not everyone can be famous, but everyone can make a difference!

It all begins with you!
