Cell Phones for Soldiers

Bring Us Your Old Cell Phones!

Since 2006 the Alachua County Tax Collectors Office has been an official Cell Phones For Soldiers Drop-Off Location. Mobile devices and tablets donated to CPFS are quickly wiped of all personal information, sold to recyclers who strip the devices of any salvageable components and/or rare metals and then responsibly recycle the remaining parts. The proceeds from this process are used to purchase prepaid international calling cards for troops and to provide emergency funding to veterans. Approximately 2,500 callings cards are mailed to the troops each week. Drop off boxes are available at all Alachua County Tax Collector locations.

Customer SurveyFebruary 2019

I wanted to take a moment to let you know that I received excellent customer service over the last week from Lori. I had a problem with my vehicles and boat registration address that I could not resolve myself on your web page. I tried but could not find the way myself. Finally I got the help from Lori, she took care of my problem. I just wanted to say thank you for having folks like Lori. Most people complain without hesitation so I want to say thank you also without hesitation. THANK YOU LORI great job.

John S.February 2019

Today I was assisted for the second time this week by Nathan (I don’t know his last name, but I do know that he recently completed an internship with a golf company) at the DMV on 34th Blvd in Gainesville. He helped me with a complicated vehicle registration involving registering a recently purchased out of state lease buyout for a non-Florida resident active duty service member. As an active duty Army physician I keep very busy and greatly appreciate the amount of time Nathan helped me to save and the assistance he provided. I believe that he is an excellent asset for the department of motor vehicles and that he deserves to be recognized as such. Thank you.

Jason G.May 2019

Customer SurveyJune 2018

“I must say I had a pleasant experience here. I made an appointment on a Friday morning and was seen immediately. I came to get a new tag. They were a bit unsure if I had the right documents, so the young lady at the front desk checked with her supervisor and assured me I did. I then went to the window where even after some complications (on my part) the agent was very calm, kind, and patient!”
