Donate a phone to RecyclicTech
Yes. RecyclicTech accepts a phone from an individual or a company. A phone is data-bearing. RecyclicTech will not promise classroom reuse if Find My, Google Factory Reset Protection, or a carrier lock is still on. The parcel still goes to Strada Putnei 213, 725400 Rădăuți for sanitisation, parts or destruction.

Before you tape the box
Take the SIM and any SD card out. Sign out of iCloud or Google and disable Find My / Activation Lock / Factory Reset Protection. RecyclicTech cannot legally bypass those locks. A locked brick is destroyed, not reused.
Do not send a swollen lithium cell. UN3481 still applies. A puffed iPhone or Android in a padded envelope is a no-ship.
What RecyclicTech does with a phone
On arrival the handset is treated as data-bearing. RecyclicTech sanitises what it can; physical destruction if the lock or the cell makes reuse dishonest. Working, unlocked phones may be reused or used for parts. RecyclicTech will not invent a school iPad programme it does not run — laptops remain the classroom default.
You pay the courier. Buy the prepaid label on recyclictech.com/donate/shipping. RecyclicTech is the organisation that receives the device.
