Get the devices ready before collection
Business phone fleet retirement often mixes staff returns, spare stock and devices from closed sites. Check each one belongs to your organisation. Keep your own list of device IDs and owners, and don't include it in enquiry photos.
Phone recycling needs an account and data decision. Your IT team removes device management, activation locks, SIMs and memory cards. A factory reset is not the same as destroying the data. Old phone recycling can include phones that won't turn on. They still hold data, so tell us how to handle them.
How to pack it
Keep devices dry, in sturdy boxes by type, with damaged units marked. Leave the batteries in. Keep swollen or cracked devices in a separate box and tell us about them. Count tablets and accessories separately.
How it works
-
Send the count. Device types, numbers and locations.
-
Agree the data instruction. Wipe or destroy, and how to handle phones that won't turn on.
-
We collect. We count the devices with your contact. The data is wiped or destroyed as instructed, and the rest is recycled.
You get written confirmation once the data is wiped or destroyed.
Collection, minimums and timing
Collection across metropolitan Melbourne, with delivery to our yard available by arrangement for business loads.
There is no minimum. The fee depends on the load and access, and the quote comes back by email once we have looked at what you have.
Batteries in devices
Laptops, phones and tablets can come as they are, with their batteries in. Loose, swollen or damaged lithium batteries are not taken. Tell us if any device is swollen, cracked or has been in water.
