Make a big difference for the planet...

If all of the estimated 5 million broken phones in Australia were recycled, we’d save 9,850 tonnes of mineral resources needing to be extracted from the ground. We’d also save 1,930 tonnes of CO2 emissions, which is the equivalent of planting 50,000 trees.

Make a big difference for young    

Here is how device collections can help educate young women in Nepal and India:

  • 10 devices = internet access for a year for a student 

  • 20 devices = one month of tertiary education

  • 30 devices = annual medical checks

  • 50 devices = one month of living costs for a student

Safety guaranteed

We take your data security on devices seriously.  All data on devices that are reused will be data wiped by our reuse partner Phonecycle.  Any device that is unable to be reused along with accessories will be recycled through MobileMuster, where any data left on devices is destroyed through the recycling process.  Also visit MobileMuster for data tips on managing your data before donating your device.

MobileMuster is the product stewardship program of the mobile phone industry and accredited by the federal government. It is voluntarily funded by all major handset manufacturers and network carriers to provide a free mobile phone recycling program in Australia to the highest environmental standard. The program is committed to raising awareness and educating the community on why it is important to not only recycle but reuse and repair where possible.
