There is also The Help Of HopeLine through Verizon that donates used phones and other electronics to victims and survivors of domestic violence. You can drop off items at any Verizon store.

Whatever cannot be donated can be recycled, either through certain retail drop off points in Kalamazoo like Best Buy, Office Max and Office Depot; but also through Kalamazoo County's recycling center.
