This fucking disgusting sentiment! You literally cannot get out of homelessness or live in this world without a phone so let them have it! And give them some money or food!

One of the recycle your phones programs sent all of the usable but unsellable ones to shelters and assistance centers to be given out. Not sure if it's still a thing because every politician in my region has been anti homless via police removal and never even glancing at root causes. I probably would have volunteered for the mandatory school volunteer hours prepping the phones if it existed at the time but even by grad not even every student had a phone so there wasn't much surplus. just back in my day things...
OP, where do you live where phones cost about a grand?
Planet Earth.
On the used market? Really? Also, I don't think a homeless person would go for those expensive flagship phones.
