How to Recycle Motorola Products


We run take-back initiatives around the world

We feature a crossed out wheeled bin symbol onour products and documentation. This symbol informs users thataproduct must bedisposed of in accordance with the European Union WEEE Directive.

Network equipment
We operate network equipment take-back programs in countries covered by the WEEE directive. In other countries, we provide take-back of network equipment if requested or contracted to do so by our customers or when it is required by law. While we offer secure recycling options, our customers often prefer to handle used equipment themselves to protect commercially sensitive information and to protect private information of individuals.

Enterprise Mobility Solutions equipment
EU customers can use an online booking system to request collection of equipment.

In Australia and New Zealand, we accept all Motorola-branded enterprise mobility equipment for recycling. This includes portable and mobile radios and batteries.

In the U.S., we accept all Motorola-branded enterprise mobility equipment for recycling.

We have an agreement Call2Recycle®, a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping batteries out of the waste stream, to recycle Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) and Small Sealed Lead Acid (SSLA/Pb) batteries on our behalf. Consumers in the U.S. and Canada can drop off their batteries at no cost at one of over 30,000 collection locations listed on the Call2Recycle website.
