Some charities can accept a donation at any time, while others may have specific days on which they accept electronics. Check with your local center for details.

If you have a cellphone to donate, several charitable organizations will accept donations of cellphones. Some national organizations include the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, SecondWave Recycling and Medic Mobile.

Check with your favorite local charities, too. Many have special programs that accept electronic products that benefit your community.
