Recycling

Recycle your old mobile phones for The Developing Foundation!

Help us increase our funds raised through recycling and help make a difference to children that have experienced a brain injury or developmental delay.

You can recycle old mobile phones.... and it costs you nothing.

The Aussie Recycling Program (ARP) is Australia's first Mobile Phone Recycling program that provides a solution to help clean up the environment while at the same time helping raise much needed funds for charities.

By recycling unwanted mobile phones with ARP, your company and staff will help in safeguarding the environment while at the same time have a positive social and charitable impact. Your employees will appreciate the opportunity to safely dispose of their unwanted phones, and The Developing Foundation will benefit from the funds your company will raise for every mobile phone recycled to re-use.

By participating in the program, you are not only doing your bit in being environmentally and socially responsible but you are also demonstrating in an additional way your organisation's performance as a good corporate citizen. Further, if your company reports according to Triple Bottom Line principles, participation contributes towards achieving these goals also.

Any organisation, no matter how large or small, can participate in the program. So why not register your company with The Developing Foundation now and turn a former resource into a valuable donation that will help people in need. There is no cost involved in participating, as the Aussie Recycling Program provides everything that is required to start recycling. The collection of the phones is free and can be arranged easily with minimum effort.

Raise funds for your School

We donate $2 for every reuseable phone to Schools that participate in our mobile phone recycling program .

Recycle your foreign coins

Have you been on holiday recently and have some foreign coins or notes left over? Now you can recycle them to benefit The Developing Foundation! We've teamed up with Coin Co International to provide a coin recycling service for all of our supporters. All you need to do is:
1) Collect your spare foreign currency together.
2) Email Jim at Coin Co on jwardle@coincoplc.com or call Coin Co on (07) 3806 5519 and explain to them that you've collected some foreign currency and would like it to benefit The Developing Foundation.
3) They will then instruct you as to how the currency will be collected. If you manage to collect four coffee mugs full or more then Coin Co will send you a jiffy bag to put it in - again make sure you label this so that it's clear you would like the money to benefit us.
