Return to Waste Management Home Page

In Australia, over 12 million people own a mobile phone and exchange it on average, every 2 years. That is a lot of potentially toxic waste in our landfills.

Never put mobile phones into rubbish bins. At landfill the battery breaks down and the cadmium leaks. This is more toxic in the environment than lead. It is better to make sure they are recycled.
