In a recent email from Clean Up Australia a method for recycling mobile phones was promoted.
Are you stashing away old mobile phones in your bottom drawer? You're not alone! Only 1 in 3 of us have recycled a mobile device and it's estimated Australians are collectively holding on to more than 4.9 million old phones, with an average of two unused mobiles in every household.
So let's change that! By simply sending in an old mobile phone (any make, any model, working or not) for recycling (and postage is free!) you could win one of two luxury sustainable holidays worth over $24,000 - thanks to our friends at Nokia, MobileMuster & Wander.
You and three friends could head off on a four-day holiday to Kangaroo Island, SA or Scenic Rim, QLD with luxury eco accommodation, flights, car hire and daily activities included.

Did you know over 95% of the materials in a mobile phone can be recovered for reuse?
It means that fewer raw materials need to be extracted and processed to make new products.
