PHONES 4 CHARITY: CELL PHONE RECYCLING
DROP-OFF
Each Alpine Bank location is a drop-off point for old
cell phones. Just bring in your old cell phone (please
make sure it is inactive) and any accompanying
accessories. The phones and accessories are
refurbished and donated to various
community-assistance organizations, or they are
disassembled and recycled.
CFL BULB RECYCLING
In partnership with Holy Cross Energy, all Alpine Bank
locations within the Holy Cross Energy service area
accept burned-out CFL light bulbs for recycling.
These bulbs contain a very small amount of mercury
and should be recycled versus thrown out to end up
in our local landfill. Please bring in only small bulbs.
