Device and modem recycling at Spark
At Spark we're committed to operating an environmentally sustainable business, and you can help by recycling your old telecommunication devices (mobile phones, mobile batteries, chargers and modems).
How you can help
What you can bring
- Any old or unused mobile phones (batteries and chargers too)
- All broadband modems
- Corded and cordless landline phones
- Laptops (preferably with chargers)
If possible, please wipe your data before you bring in your device. While every effort is made to clean out data during the recycling process, in some cases this isn't possible.
Where to bring it
Bring your old devices into any of our Stores or Business Hubs. Each store has a box for them to go in.
Note: Corporate customers should contact their Spark account team directly to make arrangements.
