* The collection result for FY 07/08 does not include approximately 9 tonnes of mobiles received during the period 1/7/07 to 17/7/07. This amount was included in the FY 06/07 collection result because it was part of MobileMuster’s Old Phones New Trees initiative, where for every handset deposited at participating collection points between 21/5/07 and 30/6/07 a tree would be planted.
