Full Circle Wireless (www.fullcirclewireless.com) Offers Businesses and Community Groups a Cleaner, Greener Way to Dispose of Used Cell Phones

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Full Circle Wireless Inc. (www.fullcirclewireless.com) is on a mission to ensure that our planet stays just a little cleaner by working to reduce the trash created in our landfills on a daily basis. This is done by collecting hundreds of thousands of unwanted used cellular phones discarded by businesses across the U.S. The company, which is a leading recycler and reseller of previously owned wireless devices and accessories, is dedicated to helping businesses throughout America to operate with a more environmentally conscious mindset - and also to receive an unexpected financial benefit during this challenging economic time.

The Laguna Hills, Calif.-based firm, which was established in 2003, literally buys back used cellular equipment (cell phones, Blackberrys and aircards) from businesses and community organizations that are seeking an alternative solution for their used wireless product inventory, and then facilitates the responsible reselling or recycling of the equipment. Not only does Full Circle Wireless put cash back into the pockets of participating businesses, but it also picks up and ships the unwanted wireless inventory all for free - making the process completely hassle-free for any company involved in the program.

Full Circle Wireless, which was recently named by Inc. magazine's prestigious "Inc. 500/5000" as the 16^th fastest growing privately held environmental services company in the U.S., is on its way to becoming the recognized national leader in bringing innovative electronic recycling solutions to the marketplace. The company's business philosophy is built around its commitment to creating a healthier planet. The Full Circle Wireless founders believe that by partnering together with local and national businesses they can make this vision a reality.

"Our ultimate goal is to create a better living environment for America's communities by helping businesses and organizations across the nation to more effectively discard their used cell phones and accessories," explained Shelton Basham, General Manager and CEO of Full Circle Wireless. "We believe that a true green society means that everyone does their part to reduce or eliminate the waste that can harm our environment. Electronic waste, or ‘e-waste,' is a major culprit to the overflow of our landfills -- and because of the proliferation and short life cycle of cells phones, wireless equipment generates a surprisingly substantial volume of e-waste on a national basis. At Full Circle Wireless, we believe that there are better, more responsible ways to handle unwanted cellular product inventory that clearly have a more positive impact on the environment - and also benefit businesses from a fiscal perspective."

In just six short years since its inception, Full Circle Wireless has already helped American companies to prevent the equivalent of more than 50 metric tons of solid, mostly toxic e-waste from polluting the nation's already overused landfills. How? Full Circle's business model is simple and practical. Employing what it terms "The Complete Green Cellular Solution," the company either extends the use of cell phones or finds a responsible recycling solution for products that no longer have street value.

"The Complete Green Cellular Solution" Process

The service works as follows:

• Full Circle Wireless identifies excess cellular equipment inventory from businesses across the U.S., working in many cases through its extensive network of wireless carrier representatives.
• Full Circle then purchases this excess inventory - actually paying its clients cash for their reusable cell phones, Blackberrys and aircards.
• To streamline the process and make it as easy as possible for businesses to participate, Full Circle provides free pick-up and shipping of the discarded mobile product inventory from the client location.
• The equipment is then either resold on the open market or Full Circle partners with registered recyclers to ensure that the e-waste is responsibly recycled.
• The participating business receives cash for the purchase within 15 business days of Full Circle receiving the shipment.

As a strong e-privacy advocate, Full Circle Wireless also adheres to proper data "cleansing" practices and makes every effort to remove confidential and proprietary information from the equipment prior to resale.

The company's roster consists of regional and national organizations of every size and from virtually every major industry, including both the public and private sectors (from charities, to schools to members of the Fortune 1000, who are looking to have a more responsible, green-focused business operation and who have valuable cellular inventory sitting idle).

"Full Circle Wireless is focused on dramatically reducing wireless e-waste from our planet - and we invite America's business community to join our charge," added Basham. "Using ‘The Complete Green Cellular Solution,' we're offering participants a simple way to feel good about protecting our environment for future generations, while putting cash in their pocket at the same time. In this tough economy, that's a win for everyone."
