Eastern Regional Libraries is now a deposit station for mobile phone recycling. Knox, Croydon and Ringwood branches have special boxes in which members may deposit their old phones. Mobile phones dropped off at our other Eastern Regional Libraries branches will be sent to our Administration.The mobile phones are sent to SCOPE/Aussie Recycling Program where they are recorded, sorted, tested, repaired if necessary and then exported to developing countries. All phones are accepted, even analogue phones.
Mobile phones contain toxic chemicals and do not degrade in the environment. They should not be thrown in the rubbish.
More information on the Mobile Recycling program may be found at the SCOPE/ARP Don't dump it! Donate it! site.
Cheers, Maryanne

Aww that’s great. Thanks for the great information I’ll will definitely make a declaration of this in my next post regarding mobile phone recycling. You can recycle many things for cash or to help a source such as the one this does which is a very good thing.
Nice informative post and great initiative taken to encourage recycling! Congrats! would definitely tell others about it. After all recycling is a good source of income as well as satisfies the needs of underprivileged communities across the globe.
