About MobileMuster

MobileMuster is the official national recycling program of the mobile phone industry in Australia.

Initiated voluntarily by the telecommunications industry in 1999, its overall aim is to prevent mobile phones ending up in landfill.

The program collects and recycles mobile phone handsets, batteries and accessories from a network of over 3500 public drop off points including mobile phone retailers, local councils, government agencies, educational institutions and businesses across Australia.

Where to recycle - to find your nearest collection point, go to http://www.mobilemuster.com.au/Where_to_hand_em_in

Alternatively you can pick up a free recycling satchel at participating Australia Post outlets. Over 90% of mobile phone components can be recycled.

MobileMuster is a not for profit program, that recycles all phones to the highest environmental standards; none are refurbished and sold. The program is managed by the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association on behalf of its members. The program is funded by a levy paid by the majority of handset manufacturers and all network service providers on each handset they ship into Australia.
