Our Mission

At The Charitable Recycling Trust, we believe in transforming old technology into opportunities for positive change. Our mission is simple: to keep unwanted cell phones, reading glasses, and hearing aids out of landfills and put them to good use by supporting charities across New Zealand. By donating these items that you no longer need, you’re not just recycling—you’re making a meaningful impact on the lives of others.

Our Values:

• Sustainability: We are committed to reducing electronic waste by repurposing devices that still have value. Every donation helps the environment by preventing harmful materials from ending up in landfills.
• Charity First: 100% of the profits from the items we collect are donated to our partner charities. Your generosity directly supports organisations that are making a difference in our communities.
• Accessibility: We strive to make giving as easy as possible. From requesting a return bag to sending your items from the comfort of your home, we handle the process so you can focus on the joy of giving.

Our Story

The Charitable Recycling Trust was founded with a clear vision: to create a simple, effective way for people to contribute to their communities while promoting environmental sustainability. Our journey began with the realisation that many households have tech items that could be given a second life. By partnering with local charities, we’ve turned this vision into a reality—ensuring that every donation makes a difference.

Building Partnerships

We work closely with a range of partner charities to ensure that the funds we raise go where they’re needed most. By collaborating with trusted organisations, we maximise the impact of every donation. Whether you’re an individual donor or a business looking to make a difference, we welcome the opportunity to work together.
