Sprint Makes Strides in Green Efforts
Nov 9, 2010, 9:32 AM by Eric M. Zeman
Sprint has taken a number of steps to further reduce its carbon footprint and achieve its sustainability goals. First, Sprint has adopted TMNG Global's SmartXchange device recapture service. SmartXchange offers Sprint the tools and services it needs to more effectively reach out to its customers for old or unused handsets and have them properly recycled or reconditioned. Second, Sprint has partnered with doxo to make it easier for customers to manage paperless billing. Doxo is a web-based filing system that lets customers manage and file all their paperless bills in one place online. Sprint says doxo users can now include their Sprint bill in their doxo account for free.

They could at least recycle the brochures! Phonebooks get recycled. Most people don't use phonebooks these day, especially us smartphone geeks.
I happen to think this is a great program. Sprint has already been recognized for their green efforts and this takes it to another level.
