Share It Don’t Toss It!
Holly Help believes strongly in sharing your unwanted items, rather than keeping them in a pile in your garage or allowing them to go to a landfill, please send them to a place where they will either be reused or loved by someone else. Below are a few organizations to help you.
We are a full service electronics recycler and collector specializing in All Green electronics recycling. We offer pickup services as well as hundreds of convenient drop-off locations. Pickups are often free of charge and can be done at your convenience.
This amazing charity was started by two high school kids who started recycling cell phones and buying phone cards for soldiers with the money earned. Please mail your old cell phones to:

No More Junk Mail
Did you know that Americans spend approximately 8 months of their lives opening junk mail? Over 90 million trees are destroyed each year to make the paper for unwanted mailings; each year 5.6 million tons of junk mail are generated, and 4.3 million tons of paper are thrown away. Three hundred and forty-thousand garbage trucks are needed to haul away all the junk mail that doesn’t make it to the recycling bin.
If you’d like to reduce the amount of unsolicited advertising mail you receive, you can write a letter to the Mail Preference Service (MPS), a free service provided by the Direct Marketing Association (DMA). In your letter, request that you be deleted from all mailing and marketing lists. Be sure to sign and date your letter. Your information will be kept in their database for 5 years and will be mailed to business subscribers four times each year.
Send your letter to:
