About the muster

MobileMuster is the official national recycling program of the mobile phone industry in Australia.

Initiated voluntarily by the telecommunications industry in 1999 its overall aim is to prevent mobile phones ending up in landfill.

The program collects and recycles mobile phone handsets, batteries and accessories from a network of over 2000 mobile phone retailers, local councils, government agencies and businesses drop off points across Australia.

As of the 31 March 2008 over 525 tonnes of mobile phone handsets, batteries and accessories had been collected or more than 3 million handsets and batteries.
