Recycle Your Mobile Phone and Mobile Equipment
 Macquarie
Telecom is pleased to announce a partnership with eXsPhones allowing customers
to recycle their phones through our mobile recycling program.
Every year over 8 million mobile phones are sold in Australia, but because of
rapid development in the technology, users tend to replace them every 18-24
months. This equates to about 10,000 tons of phones and accessories taken out of
service each year.
As with all electronic equipment, mobile phones contain a range of substances
that are harmful if the devices are not disposed of properly.
Heavy metals such as mercury, lead and cadmium are present within mobile
phones, especially older models, as well as brominated flame retardants in the
devices' printed circuit boards and casings.
Shockingly, an undercover survey by the Total
Environment Centre has found just 3% of phones are being recycled in Australia.
