Over 90% of the materials used in a mobile phone are recyclable, avoiding future greenhouse gas emissions, saving energy, protecting our environment and conserving scarce natural resources. While mobile phones cannot be recycled through the yellow lidded recycling bin, they can be returned to shops selling mobile phones.
Woolworths have partnered with Mobile Muster and EcoBatt to ensure the safe disposal of household handheld batteries and mobile phones in their recycling units at all stores which is freely accessible to anyone in the community. For further information on this initiative you can visit their site https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/discover/sustainability#

You can recycle your old mobile phones at the Yeppoon Town Hall Customer Support Centre, 25 Normanby Street, Yeppoon.
