What Makes Mobile Devices Unique

Valuable Materials

Mobile devices contain a higher concentration of precious metals than most other electronics. A ton of smartphones contains more gold than a ton of ore from a gold mine.

Data Security Concerns

Smartphones and tablets typically contain more personal data than other devices, including photos, banking information, passwords, and contact information.

Lithium Batteries

All mobile devices contain lithium-ion batteries that present fire risks if damaged or improperly handled during the recycling process.

Rapid Replacement Cycle

With typical replacement every 2-3 years, mobile devices represent one of the fastest-growing segments of electronic waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prepare my phone or tablet for recycling?

We recommend backing up your data, then performing a factory reset on your device. Remove your SIM card and memory card if applicable. While we perform professional data wiping on all devices, these steps provide additional peace of mind.

Can I get money for my old mobile devices?

Devices that are relatively new and in good working condition may qualify for our buyback program. During the recycling process, we'll evaluate your devices and offer compensation for those with resale value.

What happens to my data when I recycle my smartphone?

All devices undergo a secure data wiping process that meets NIST 800-88 standards. This process completely removes all user data, accounts, and personal information. For devices that cannot be wiped due to damage, physical destruction methods are used.

Do you accept damaged or broken mobile devices?

Yes, we accept mobile devices in any condition, including those with cracked screens, water damage, or devices that won't power on. All devices can and should be recycled responsibly.
