Trade your cell phone for pizza
Posted 2 days ago
With spring cleaning upon us and earth month fast approaching, Pizza Pizza, the company that introduced telephone pizza ordering in Canada, continues to have a firm connection with phones. This time it's the company's commitment to recycle old cell phones from customers. Throughout April, Pizza Pizza will be trading cheese or pepperoni slices in exchange for unused cell phones, with proceeds from the recycling process going to support local food banks across the country. The initiative, Cells for Slices, has collected close to 3,000 phones since it started five years ago. The company is accepting cell phones at traditional restaurants, approximately 360 across the country. Old cell phones will yield more than just a slice of pizza. In addition to the disposal of old, unused technology that may be collecting dust around the house, the recycling effort translates into a worthwhile donation to Food Banks Canada through the organization's 'Phones-for- Food' program. The program sorts and sends old mobiles to a company that refurbishes them and in turn sells the 'recycled' product back to consumers. On average, a refurbished phone generates $2 to $5 for nourishing those in need and has the added benefit of keeping mobiles out of landfills where hazardous chemicals from the phones can seep into the environment. "Recycling old cell phones, or whatever else we find during spring cleaning, is another way for customers to show their commitment to the environment and Earth Month," said Pat Finelli, chief marketing officer at Pizza Pizza. "Earth Month is a great opportunity to create and participate in projects like the Phones-for-Food program that helps those in need and encourages everyone to share the responsibility for a clean environment," added Finelli.

What a great idea! I bet they give away a lot of free pizza. And save a small portion of our planet at the same time! Too bad they don't have one in Edmonton
