Starship Mobile Phone Recycling Appeal

Do Something Good with a Mobile Phone!

Starship's Mobile Phone Recycling Appeal is a fantastic innovative way you can help support our national children's hospital - without handing over a cent! 

Starship Foundation can now help you safely dispose of your old redundant mobile phones while helping care for our kids. But the best part is it's so easy!

All you have to do is pick up one of our ParcelPost^TM Returns Freepost envelopes from ASB Bank branches, all Telecom stores, Barfoot & Thompson branches, The Warehouse or Warehouse Stationary stores, and Vodafone stores package the phone then pop in a local post box and you're done. 

Envelopes are also regularly inserted into national newspapers and magazines.

We are happy to receive any make and model of mobile phone regardless of condition. 

Phones in working order are refurbished and exported to places such as Hong Kong, China or to Eastern Europe, while those beyond repair are recycled through the correct environmental channels.

If you have a large quantity of phones to send in, simply package them in a box and download a Freepost label below.  Please ensure phones are safely and securely packaged.

Starship's Mobile Phone Appeal is supported by ASB, Barfoot & Thompson, Mercury Energy, NZ Bus, New Zealand Post, Telecom New Zealand, The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, Sky TV, Chevron NZ, Ticketmaster and Wyatt & Wilson.
