Put that old mobile phone to good use

20 Jul 2016

Now is a great time to find a better use for that old mobile phone – drop it off at Waitomo District Council and raise money for the new exciting charity Sustainable Coastlines. 

Sustainable Coastlines is a young, multi- award winning New Zealand charity with a mission to inspire, educate and enable others to look after the places we love.

Waitomo District Council has come on board once again to support the RE:MOBILE scheme.

All mobile phones, smart phones, batteries, charging units, data cables and head-sets are accepted regardless of condition (working or non-working), make or model. 

Simply place your unwanted mobile phone and accessories in the Sustainable Coastlines collection bin provided in the reception area of Waitomo District Council.
