Yes. Big Sky Recycling accepts cell phones and tablets from all 50 states. Our nationwide mail-in program makes it easy to recycle or donate your devices without leaving home.

Whether you’re in Texas, New York, or a small town anywhere in between, simply print a shipping label, pack your phones, and drop them off at any USPS location.

Every device is processed at our secure U.S. facility, ensuring responsible recycling and certified data erasure no matter where it comes from.

Yes. Shipping is completely free when recycling five or more devices through Big Sky Recycling’s mail-in program. We cover the shipping cost by providing a prepaid label you can print instantly.

If you’re recycling fewer than five phones, you can still participate using a self-paid label, and your devices will be processed the same secure, sustainable way.

Data security is one of our top priorities. Every device we receive is erased using certified data-wiping software compliant with NIST 800-88 standards. This process permanently removes all personal data: photos, messages, and stored files.

Phones that cannot be powered on or accessed are physically destroyed through our R2-certified downstream recycling partner network.

Whether you’re donating or selling, your data is securely and permanently erased before reuse or material recovery.
