Recycle old mobile phones – plant more trees
Before you ask – Yes, they are related
‘Sme again. Banging on, yet again, about recycling your old mobile phones.
In case you’ve missed any of my previous recycling tips, MobileMuster is the mobile phone recycling program run by the AMTA (Australian Mobile Telecommunications Authority).
The good people at MobileMuster have gotten together with the good people at Landcare and have officially launched the “Old Phones, More Trees” campaign, which will plant a native tree for every mobile phone handed in for recycling.
Australians can join a campaign to plant thousands of native trees for free by recycling their old mobile phones between now and World Environment Day on 5 June.
Be part of the solution, not the problem
How? Pretty easy really! 
Recycle all your old mobile phones, charges and batteries; which unclutters your drawers; reduces landfill – and helps plant some trees.
Just remember to do so before World Environment Day on 5 June.
“I’m on board, how can I recycle?”
- You can drop your mobile phones into just about any mobile phone retailer – wherever you see MobileMuster drop off bins.
- If that’s not convenient, postage satchels have now also been placed in all Post Offices for you to send you mobile phone back for recycling – free of charge.
