Remove the battery first. Generally, the battery is located under the back cover. In some cases, there is no quick access to the battery, thus the casing must be pried open. Go on along instructions on [DS 23: Battery].

Step 2

Remove the casing and keypad from the inner parts (unscrew, pry open, etc.) and go on with instructions on [DS 17: Plastics] or the respective fraction data sheet.

Step 3

The remaining parts – mainly PWB and LCD – can be further treated as described in [DS 16: PWB – End-Processing]. PWBs from mobile phones are usually high-grade board quality (see Table 2). If easily detachable, it might be wise to separate further materials like plastics, steel, aluminium, etc.
