1.2 million mobiles & batteries recycled. Nice job!

In 2018 the program collected and recycled 90 tonnes of mobile phones and batteries.

Australia has more old phones stored away than there are people – equating to two in every household. A key reason for this is our lack of knowledge on how to remove data, with the majority of people (81%) admitting that they would be more inclined to give their old phone to someone else if they knew how to remove their data properly.

Data worries leave us hanging on rather than handing down

Is removing data too much hassle?
