![]() ![]() There are some recycling companies that offer collection and drop-off services for commercial quantities of mobile phones. MobileMuster’s priority is to recover the majority of materials to use in the manufacture of new products. Nothing the program collects is reused or resold. These materials are recovered and used to make a range of new products including mobile phones, glass bottles, recycled plastic park benches, electronics, mobile phone batteries, and stainless-steel products. Some plastics and metals are processed in Australia, while circuit boards, batteries, and other plastics are processed by MobileMuster’s recycling partner at their facility in Singapore. Products are dismantled manually with components separated into different streams: circuit boards, metal, glass, plastics, and batteries. Mobile phones, accessories, and other accepted electronic items collected by MobileMuster are transported to one of two recycling facilities in Sydney and Melbourne.
