MobileMuster is a free, not for profit recycling program that is voluntarily funded by the Australian telecommunications industry, and managed by the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA).
With us, you can safely and securely recycle your old, broken mobile phones, chargers,
and accessories easily from home, or at one of our drop-off locations near you. And your data is safe – it is completely destroyed in the recycling process.
