More about Facebook Smart Restart

At Facebook, we're always looking for ways to carry out our mission of connecting the world. Today, connectivity often requires owning a mobile device. The Facebook Smart Restart program was founded on our vision of bringing internet connectivity to the 4 billion unconnected by enabling access to mobile devices. Smart Restart provides an easy way for you to sell or donate your old mobile device to be reused or recycled, thus bringing connectivity to the under-connected areas of the world.

Additionally, our program aims to collect reusable mobile devices to help global non-profit organizations carry out their missions to connect the populations they serve. We collect and refurbish devices that we receive through the Smart Restart program, then we put these devices to use with our partner organizations. Some of our upcoming initiatives include arming doctors and health workers with mobile devices so they can efficiently address medical emergencies in developing countries. We strive to equip victims of food crises and natural disasters with mobile phones so they can connect to resources, information and their families.

Smart Restart helps raise awareness for environmentally sustainable practices. According to the Electronics Takeback Coalition, over 100 million smartphones are disposed improperly every year in the U.S. alone, leading to water and soil contamination, as well as human health issues. Smart Restart addresses this problem head on, by providing an easy and free way for you to dispose of old phones, even those that are no longer functional. We keep these devices out of landfills and prevent the growing problem of global e-waste, thus creating a greener and healthier planet.

To accomplish this mission, we've partnered with Hyla Inc. to ensure your old devices are put to good use. Hyla is a global leader in mobile device re-commerce and recycling, and its solutions have been utilized by over 20 wireless carriers and retailers globally, including AT&T, Verizon, Telus, and Best Buy, to name a few. Hyla uses sophisticated technology across its global operation centers to extend the lifecycle of mobile devices in the most secure manner possible. They collect, repair, refurbish, recycle, and redistribute mobile phones around the world. Hyla’s dedication to promoting environmental sustainability while closing the digital divide makes them the ideal partner for our Smart Restart program.
