You have an extra phone that’s just sleeping in your drawer doing nothing? Have you considered recycling it?. It’s easier than ever and we’ll provide you with resources on how to safely dispose of it.

Before you part ways with your device, here are a few things to consider:

The phone must be deactivated. Remove all personal information, and remove the SIM card if it has one.
Factory reset your device (this will delete all other content on your device).
Phones can't be reclaimed once handed over.
Items are sent to a third-party recycling vendor, who will recycle the phones responsibly.

For most of Canada, bring any mobile phone, battery, or accessory, irrespective of carrier, to your nearest participating TELUS/Koodo Trade-In location for recycling. It's as easy as that!

There are also separate recycling programs in your province that work in partnership with local government so that you can drop off your device(s) easily:
