O2 Recycle is our way to trade in your unused phones, tablets and other gadgets for cash or credit to spend on the things you love. We run the service in partnership with leading expert Likewize. O2 Recycle has already saved more than 4 million devices from becoming e-waste, while helping people make a few quid and clear out their used tech. Win-win-win.

What happens when I sell my device to O2 Recycle?

We start by wiping all your personal data, so you can rest easy knowing everything’s secure. After that, we give devices a second and third chance by reselling them ourselves as Like New or through our partner, Likewize. If a device really can’t be reused, we send it to our partner Relove Technology, who make sure every valuable material is extracted and repurposed – never wasted.

What devices can I sell with O2 Recycle?

Phones, Tablets, AirPods, MacBooks, Wearables, Games Consoles

How do I send in my device?

Option 1: Use your own packaging, show the QR code at your local Post Office and they’ll do the rest. Or if you’d prefer, print out the free postage label in your confirmation email. Option 2: Need packaging? Simply request a free kit and we’ll send it your way. Our free postage label includes insurance cover up to £150. Got a high-value device? You might want to upgrade your shipping with Royal Mail or another courier. Option 3: Pop into your local O2 store to get your recycling quote, and one of our friendly team members will make sure it gets back to us. However you send in your device, make sure your quote reference is clearly visible so we can process it – and your payment – quickly.

How should I prep my device to send in?

For laptops and consoles, we’ll need any essentials like controllers, docking stations and power cables. Anything else you can trade in without chargers or accessories. If you choose to send them anyway, we’ll recycle them responsibly.

How will I know when my device arrives?

We’ll drop you an email as soon as it arrives, or you can track it yourself with the Royal Mail tracking number on your proof of postage. To check your order status anytime, just log in to your O2 Recycle account and select ‘Track my order’.

Can I buy Like New devices from O2?
