Have your old phones collected

Don’t let your old smartphones gather dust in a drawer! Your phone can be reincarnated. Value it, recycle it, donate it... make a gesture of goodwill to benefit the environment.

Special offer

Fairphone 5

A Fairphone case, a screen protector and a tote bag for free with the purchase of a Fairphone 5 smartphone and a simultaneous subscription to the SCOUBIDO Mobile offer. 

Benefit now

More and more smartphones come off the assembly lines each year

This uses up a considerable amount of energy and fuels demand for rare metals such as gold for the motherboard and cobalt for the battery. Manufacturing a smartphone could account for around three quarters of its environmental footprint, hence the need to make it last.

And while you may no longer need your phone, it could still be used by someone who can’t afford one. POST works with different partners to recycle or reuse phones, putting them back on the market or reusing their parts. 

The benefits

Donate or sell your smartphone:
a minor act with major impact

Environmental impact

Your smartphone will be reconditioned and reused by someone who cannot afford a new one. Or it will be dismantled, here in Luxembourg, at a workshop for social and professional integration. The parts will be reused in the manufacture of new devices.

Economic impact

Sell your mobile in an Espace POST. You trade in your device and receive a discount on the price of your new phone. This gesture will allow you to save money and extend the life of your smartphone, which others can use too.

Social impact

If it still works, your old phone will be reconditioned. If it no longer works or is damaged, it will be taken apart and its components recycled. To do this, POST works locally with Digital Inclusion and Solina Aarbechtshëllef, as part of the national Mobile Bag collection.

Answers to your questions

It is less than six years old and still works: 

  • You choose to sell your phone to POST, you opt for the Mobile BuyBack service: It will be refurbished and reset via one of our partners who guarantee to erase any remaining data. This will extend the life of the device and allow it to be used by other users for many years to come.
  • You choose to donate your phone to POST and its partners. If the device meets the criteria for return defined by "Digital Inclusion" (more information at Donate Smartphones - Digital Inclusion (digital-inclusion.lu), you can put it in a Mobile Bag and deposit it in a return box available in our Espaces POST or give it to your postman. Your phone will then be received by "SOLINA - Aarbechtshëllef a.s.b.l." to check the selection criteria and sent back to "Digital Inclusion" for refurbishment. It will then be redistributed to people in need in Luxembourg, selected with the social offices of the "Croix Rouge" and "SOLINA - Aarbechtshellëf a.s.b.l.".

It is more than 6 years old (functional or not): 

  • It will be passed on to the ""Aarbechtshëllef a.s.b.l."" , which will dismantle it in their workshop and revalue the materials so that they can be used for the production of new devices or objects. The hard disk containing personal data will be physically and systematically destroyed."

When you trade in your telephone using the POST Mobile BuyBack service, you hand over your smartphone to genuine experts who guarantee that any remaining data is deleted from your device. Plus, you can trade in your smartphone in a POST Telecom shop without having to send your device by post. And you can ask to trade in up to five of your old smartphones for a maximum of €1,000.

You must wipe the data before handing over your electronic devices. This is your responsibility. POST and its partners will not be liable for any loss or misuse of data still held on the device.

During the recycling or refurbishing process, our partners will reset the device and may even destroy the memory card. The device’s factory settings will therefore be restored, after which you will no longer be able to recover any data that had been stored on the device.

We take phones as well as all other electronic devices (decoders, cables, accessories, FRITZ!Box, etc.) so they can be recycled or reused. At POST, we take back all telecom devices we sell so that, whenever possible, they can be given a new lease of life. Why wait to bring us your device?

The bags can be picked up free of charge:
