WHS Band Boosters Partner with EcoPhones

The WHS Band Boosters is partnering with EcoPhones to begin a simple, no-cost fundraising effort that is big on helping the environment.

Founded in 2001, EcoPhones is a leader in cellular phone, ink jet printer cartridge, DVD movie, DVD video game, portable DVD player, laptop / notebook computer, MP3 player, digital picture frame, digital camera, digital video recorder, GPS device and video game console recycling & fundraising. Working with over 22,000 educational, civic and religious organizations throughout the United States, EcoPhones is pioneering the large scale collection of electronic waste through its innovative EcoPhones Drive® concept. By offering a simple, no-cost fundraising solution while at the same time safeguarding the environment, EcoPhones is truly the Future Of Fundraising®.

{sidebar id=1}EcoPhones' philosophy reflects a commitment to the environment and the community. In partnership with organizations such as Keep Texas Beautiful and Keep Arkansas Beautiful, EcoPhones promotes consumer electronic waste awareness and community fundraisers across America. In addition, EcoPhones is a proud member of the International Association of Electronics Recyclers, the National Recycling Coalition, the Recycling Alliance Of Texas, the North Texas Corporate Recycling Association, and the Houston Corporate Recycling Council. We have also earmarked a portion of EcoPhones equity to support charities and service groups in our community. Moreover, we intend to take an active role in helping shape legislation already under consideration related to electronic waste.

Items listed above, in working or non-working condition, can be brought to any remaining WHS football home game to the home side concession stand or to the WHS Band Room for donation. Individuals and businesses are both encouraged to participate. Donations of items for recycling, as well as monetary contributions to WHS Band Boosters, are a tax deductible contribution to this non-profit organization.
