20 years of Ö3 Wonder Bag

For the 20th time in a row, it’s time to get those old mobile phones out of the drawer and into the Ö3 Wonder Bag (Wundertüte)! This sparks a double-impact miracle – for the environment and families in need.
Broken devices can be recycled, and those still working can be reused. The proceeds from this recycling effort go to the emergency relief funds of Licht ins Dunkel and Caritas, providing daily assistance to families in need across Austria. Old mobile phones can help heat a cold home or keep the fridge full, among others.
It’s now time to do it all over again: find your old phones, put them in the Ö3 Wonder Bag, and drop them off at your local Austrian Post branch – needless to say, it’s free of charge! The entire country is donating old phones to make miracles happen!
