All drop-off sites must be certified.  It is important that collected cell phones and related components are indeed being recycled and not disposed of in the garbage.  Follow these step to become certified:

1. Complete an application and submit it to John Mazzucco either by mail at the Westchester County Recycling Office, 270 North Avenue (6th Floor), New Rochelle, NY 10801 or by fax at (914) 813-5460.
2. Once you're certified, you'll receive a certificate which must be displayed for people disposing of cell phones at the site. 
3. Certified cell phone drop-off sites must file a report once a year with the county Recycling Office. The report, due the last business day in January, simply asks how the collected phones were managed and an estimate of the number of cell phones collected.

You may opt to become a Verizon Wireless HopeLine cell phone drop-off site, where donations help to benefit domestic violence victims, by following these steps:

1. Contact the John Mazzucco of the County Recycling Office by e-mail or by phone at (914) 813-5404. The Recycling Office will issue you a collection box, program poster and a cell phone drop-off site certificate, all of which must be displayed for people disposing of cell phones at the site.
2. Place the box, poster and certificate in a secure public location. When the collection box is nearly full with cell phones and related equipment (e.g., chargers, etc.), call (914) 813-5441 for a shipping label for pick up and discuss your plan for continued participation.
3. As a certified cell phone drop-off site, you will need to file a report once a year with the County Recycling Office. The report, due the last business day in January, asks for an estimated number of cell phones collected.
