If you have a used mobile phone, you can now return it to any Bell store across the country. Bell will donate $1.00 from the return of each used mobile phone to WWF-Canada's climate change conservation efforts. Returned mobile phones will be reused or recycled, reducing the accumulation of e-waste in landfills, the fastest growing form of waste in the country.

Frequently asked questions:

Where can I return my used mobile phone? You can return used mobile phones from all manufacturers to any Bell store. You can also ship your phone by Canada Post, free of charge. Accessories, batteries and personal digital assistants are also accepted. For more details on how to do this, please visit: www.bell.ca/takeback.

What will Bell do with the donated phones? About half of the phones will be refurbished and reused and the remaining phones will be recycled in Canada in compliance with Canadian regulations. Approximately 96 per cent of a mobile phone's weight is recyclable. The only current waste component is the rubber keypad, although ways to recycle it are being explored. Recycled mobile phone components are used to create a number of different items, such as plastic lumber.

Does it really make a difference if I return my phone? YES! In Canada, e-waste is now the fastest growing segment of solid waste. Bell has collected 232,000 phones since 2003, diverting 33 metric tons from landfill.

Moreover by simply returning your used mobile phone you are contributing $1.00 to WWF-Canada. Your donation will be helping WWF-Canada, the global conservation organization, to help fight climate change.

What happens to the personal information stored on my phone? WWF-Canada and Bell are both committed to ensuring the privacy of the people who donate their mobile phones. All data is deleted from returned phones.
