What should I do before recycling my old phone?
Before you send your phone off for recycling, here's a few things you'll need to do:
- Transfer your mobile service to your new phone or cancel your mobile service and pay your final bill in full.
- Erase any personal information from your device, including text messages, contacts and personal files.
- Remove your SIM Card (if there's one).
- Delete your eSIM (if you are using one), Learn how to delete the eSIM on your Apple, or Android device.
Where can I recycle my old phone?
No matter what brand or company your phone is from, you can head to any Virgin Plus store and drop it off with a Virgin Plus sales rep. You can also recycle accessories like headsets, chargers and old batteries.
What happens to recycled phones?
First we delete all data from donated phones. We then proceed to refurbish the phones that are still usable. The remaining phones and accessories are recycled according to Canadian regulations.
All recycling program proceeds are donated to World Wildlife Foundations, Regenerate Canada.
