World Record set for recycling mobile phones
Well done Aussies…!
Remember last month when we told you about the MobileMuster and Landcare “Old Phones, More Trees” campaign, where a native tree was to be planted for every mobile phone handed in for recycling before World Environment Day?!
Well on Saturday 31 May, according to the AMTA website, Australia set a new world record:
Australians handed in a record 2,590 mobile phones for recycling through MobileMuster, creating a World Record for the largest number of mobile phones handed in for recycling in one country in one hour.
The Guinness World Record attempt took place simultaneously on Saturday 31 May across five capital cities: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.
What now?
If you missed the campaign deadline (shame on you?!), it just means a tree will not be planted in your honour. You can of course still find out how to recycle your mobile phone at the MobileMuster website.
