FBR BUZZ - ExchangeMyPhone

Earlier this week, FBR was profiled in a blog post by ExchangeMyPhone.  Thanks for the shout-out!  Turns out… ExchangeMyPhone is another Brooklyn start-up (right up the street in Carroll Gardens, what’re the odds?!) that focuses on the reuse and responsible recycling of electronics - specifically cell phones.

ExchangeMyPhone makes it quick and easy to sell or recycle your used and broken cell phones while doing something good for the environment.  On their website you can get an instant quote of how much your used phone is worth.  Some broken or older phones may no longer have monetary value but can still be sent to ExchangeMyPhone - for free! - to be responsibly recycled.  If your phone is worth a few bones, you can mail it to their Brooklyn location from anywhere in the U.S. - again, free of charge - and ExchangeMyPhone will write you a check for the value amount.  What’s super cool about their program is that you can start a phone drive - where lots of people send in their phones - and fundraise with e-waste.  Awesome.

There is so much environmental creativity happening in the Gowanus area, we couldn’t be more proud to call this place home.  At FBR we love to support our community and think that what ExchangeMyPhone is doing is super great.  Way to go, guys… keep up the good work!
