Orion Township will be participating in Nextel’s ‘Donate a Phone Program,? benefiting soldiers overseas and their families.
Buildings and grounds director Reenae Tulip requested the township board authorize the township’s taking part in the program, which will return current and future old cells phones at the township to Nextel.
The recycling of each phone results in a cash contribution of $1.50 to support services for the troops, and phones are disposed of properly, batteries included.
The phones will be sent via Federal Express at Nextel’s expense.
