Old cell phones being collected to benefit soldiers

State Rep. John Bradley (D-Marion) is asking Franklin County residents to donate old cell phones through the end of this month.

The cell phones will go to Cell Phones for Soldiers, which sells them to a recycling company and uses the proceeds to buy phone cards for soldiers.

Drop off phones by Nov. 30 at the following West Frankfort Public Library, 402 E. Poplar St., or the Benton Public Library, 502 S. Main St.
