Mobile phones

The MRC is calling on local residents to not let a ridiculous reason get in the way of doing something good for the environment.

Recycle mobile phones

MobileMuster’s research into how many old mobiles there are in Australia found that there are more than 23 million old and unused mobiles phones going to waste in drawers, cupboards and garages across Australia. This means there are now the same number on average of old unused mobiles in a home as there are people. Research has also  shown that people have all sorts od strange reasons for holding onto their old phones.
