O2 Recycle

Help and support

Recycling your old phone is straightforward with O2, and you don't even have to be on our network. Since launching O2 Recycle, we've paid out over £230 million.

Price

With O2 Recycle, you can get a competitive price for your old phone, even if it's damaged. Find out how much your old phone is worth.

Payment

We pay cash for your old phone directly into your bank account. We can also send you a cheque, or credit your phone bill if you're an O2 customer.

Protect the environment

We have a zero landfill policy, so the vast majority of phones we receive will be reused, repaired or recycled for parts. You can also play your part in protecting the environment by responsibly disposing of your device and accessory packaging. Find out more about the recycling symbols on our packaging and how to recycle your devices.

If you're not sure about any techy terms, check out our jargon buster.
