District Council of Kimba is top mobile recycler
MobileMuster has named the District Council of Kimba the National Top Collector per Capita for mobile phone recycling.
Located on the northern Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, the agricultural district has been involved in the MobileMuster program since 2007. Each year the council books in a free collection with MobileMuster.
“It’s great to have regional and remote councils, such as the District Council of Kimba, be active MobileMuster collection partners. It helps to make the program accessible and convenient for local residents,” said Spyro Kalos, Manager, MobileMuster.
“Councils play a crucial role in encouraging the community to recycle; over the last 12 years they’ve done an incredible job of delivering almost 34 tonnes of mobiles and accessories for recycling.
“The real winner is the environment, which benefits from the hard work and commitment of local councils who provide the community with a responsible and secure way to recycle their mobile phones.”
The top collectors are determined by total weight of mobile phones and accessories that have been collected by each council across Australia between 1 May 2017 and 30 April 2018.
Top local council collectors by weight in each state/territory are:
- NSW: Hornsby Shire Council
- NT: Alice Springs Town Council
- Qld: Brisbane City Council
- SA: City of Onkaparinga
- Tas: Waratah Wynyard Council
- Vic: Nillumbik Shire Council
- WA: City of Stirling
