MobileMuster takes all brands of mobile phones, batteries, chargers and accessories, and at selected Optus and Vodafone stores also modems, smartwatches and speakers. Data is destroyed, working devices can be reused, and the rest is dismantled for metals, plastics and glass. It collected 171 tonnes in 2024 to 2025.
It is a programme of the Australian Telecommunications Alliance, accredited under the Recycling and Waste Reduction Act to 2029; not a charity. Free drop-off, satchel or business pickup.
