Environmental Impact

Without the Mobile Phone Recycling Scheme, a much higher number of old mobiles, batteries, and accessories would end up in New Zealand landfills. Instead, working phones get a second life and broken ones become new products.

Your simple donation helps both New Zealand charities and prevents valuable materials from being wasted in landfill.

Supporting NZ Charities

The Mobile Phone Recycling Scheme has raised over $3 million for New Zealand charities thanks to businesses, schools, organisations, and thousands of individuals.
