No one can even fathom not using your phones nowadays. And that is the norm. You might even be reading various Waster blogs on a mobile screen.

But what if you grew tired of your mobile phone and want a new one? Or, just suddenly, your phone broke down? What will you do about it?

How Do You Recycle Your Mobile Phone?
It is first important to note that for whatever reason you want to recycle your old mobile phone – growing old, wanting a new one or it being just in the drawer of your house – that it is very much welcome. That is because of the concerning growth of e-waste nowadays. According to an ABC article, nearly 23 million unused mobile phones are left to their own and not recycled. As a result, it is a must to recycle them in order to prevent them from going into a landfill.

It is very important to recycle your old or discarded mobile phones because of its inability to be biodegraded. It also contains harmful substances that damage the environment if wrongfully disposed of.

What Is Inside A Phone?
It is first important to know what is inside of a mobile phone before learning how recycling it works. Generally, they are made up of different kinds of metals like gold, silver, cadmium, aluminium, lead, and copper. Mobile phones usually have lithium batteries (check our blog on battery recycling). Additionally, the ringing of a phone is caused by a metal called coltan.

MobileMuster
Typically, mobile phones and batteries cannot be recycled in your local council recycling bins. This is where MobileMuster comes in.

Have you got any idea what MobileMuster is and what it is about? If you don’t, let me discuss with you. MobileMuster, partnered with Planet Ark, is the official recycling programme of the mobile phone industry. It is voluntarily funded by many handset and accessory manufacturers. Furthermore, it does not get any profit in doing this programme.

How does the recycling process work? First, you should drop off your phones at the public drop off points. The  3000 and more public drop off points include various phone centres and participating local councils, as well as selected ANZ and Sydney Credit Union branches. After that, MobileMuster recycles it/them for you!

What happens to the phones after they get it? Well, they first make sure to recycle mobile phones to the highest environmental standards. They recover 90 per cent of the plastics and metals in mobile phones and use them to make plastic fence posts, stainless steel, and jewellery. They do not repair or resell them.



Other Ways Rather Than Recycling Mobile Phones
Take note that you can still opt to reuse your mobile phones instead of recycling them, especially if they are still in good condition. Here, I share with you some ways on how to repurpose your old mobile phones:



Use it for gaming purposes – are you a gaming enthusiast? Or maybe just a casual gamer? Either way, why not use your old phone for gaming? Buy controllers or anything that can help you play cool games. For example, try playing the mobile version of PUBG with touch screen game joysticks or BlueTooth controllers. Check out this cool article to know your PUBG mobile gaming needs!


Use it as a work phone – you can use your old mobile phone as a work phone if you ever think of buying a new one, instead of throwing it away. Save your workmates’ contacts on your old phone and call them there if the need arises.


Use it as a standalone music player – instead of disposing of your old mobile phone, why not use it as a music player? Instead of using precious space to store music on your new phone, you can store them on your old phone. Additionally, you can save battery life on your new phone if you use your old phone for music playing.
