e-Cycle donates recycling proceeds to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation

OHIO (Scrap Monster): e-Cycle LLC has presented an $18,901 check to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Mid-Ohio Chapter as a result of the company's "e-Cycle for Type 1 Diabetes" campaign held from Nov. 15 through the 23.

e-Cycle LLC is a Wireless mobile buyback, data security and recycling company and Most Promising Company in America. e-Cycle donated $1 for every mobile phone the company purchased or recycled during the week.

Chris Irion, e-Cycle founder and father of a daughter diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, said the goal of the promotion was to raise awareness and support for two causes that are close to his heart America Recycles Day (Nov. 15) and American Diabetes Month (November). Irion said he also wanted to show the potential that wireless buyback and recycling holds as a new revenue stream for charitable organizations.

"The entire e-Cycle team is extremely proud to present this donation to JDRF and we are excited that we were able to raise this much money in only seven days," Irion said. "But our contribution only scratches the surface of the potential that mobile buyback and recycling offers as a viable new revenue stream for charitable organizations."

Irion added, since 2005, e-Cycle has donated more than $1 million to various U.S. charities from proceeds raised through corporate mobile buyback, and that much more can be raised if enterprises can make mobile recycling a part of their corporate caring strategy. e-Cycle pays businesses and organizations between $1 and $280 dollars for each mobile device that can be reused, and recycles all other devices and accessories at no cost to make certain they do not end up in landfills.

According to Irion, wireless mobile buyback offers a unique way for organizations to give back to the community without impacting their bottom line.

JDRF is the leading global organization focused on type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Driven by passionate, grassroots volunteers connected to children, adolescents, and adults with this disease, JDRF is the largest charitable supporter of T1D research.
