CWG, known formally as Communications Wireless Group, LLC and previously operating under the name CMB Wireless Group, is an international enterprise dedicated to the repurposing, recycling, and reuse of outdated mobile phones, smartphones, and associated accessories.
History and operations
Established in 2006 with its main office located in Bohemia, New York, CWG has established itself as a prominent recycler within the mobile handset sector, catering primarily to the telecommunications market.
The company adheres to an eco-friendly business approach centered on device reuse and maintains a rigorous zero-landfill commitment. Collaborating with wireless carriers and device manufacturers, CWG provides a range of services such as refurbishment, repair, secure data wiping, resale initiatives, take-back schemes, and responsible environmental disposal.
CWG’s recovery techniques extend to extracting materials at the component level, reclaiming valuable metals, plastics, and glass. Whenever feasible, repairs are conducted using refurbished components to minimize waste generation.
In the United States alone, more than 130 million mobile phones are disposed of annually, contributing over 65,000 tons of electronic waste. CWG’s initiatives help diminish this volume by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, preventing hazardous substances from entering landfill sites, and preserving natural resources.
Each year, CWG handles upwards of 3.5 million accessories and 1.5 million batteries; it tests and distributes over 100,000 parts monthly; has successfully diverted more than 1.7 million pounds of phone scrap from landfills; and actively participates in Verizon Wireless's HopeLine Program supporting domestic violence survivors.
