Got an old phone? Recycle it. TELUS’ Return & Recycle Program

TELUS’ Return & Recycle Program is a national environmental initiative to help divert hazardous materials (such as batteries) from landfills. It is a free program for the general public to return their unwanted handsets and/or accessories, irrespective of the carrier. In an effort to increase TELUS’ commitment in environmental stewardship, TELUS has partnered with Tree Canada. Through Tree Canada, TELUS will plant a tree for each handset collected through the Return & Recycle Program.

Anyone can drop off old phones and accessories at TELUS stores and dealers across Canada. Old phones received will be broken down into its various components and recycled in a responsible manner.

Note: Phones must be deactivated and personal content (such as contacts, SIM cards & pictures) must be removed prior to drop-off. Phones cannot be reclaimed at a later date.
