Nokia Recyclimpics 1-3 July 2011

What comes to your mind when you hear this word - Nokia? To me, it's my favorite and most affordable mobile phone brand.

Recently, Nokia Malaysia is getting all out to touch base with its consumers and create a buzz in the mobile device industry. Honestly, I really like Nokia's recent initiatives. One of it being Nokia's World's Biggest Angry Birds Playground, held on 11 June 2011. Here's my blog post: Nokia's World's Biggest Angry Birds Playground.

******************************

This month, Nokia continues the buzz with Nokia Recyclimpics, the nation's first recycling sporting event. The catch of the event is that you come to the event with your old phones, play some games, and you might win some cool prizes. You can also get cool stuff from "Lucky Dip" once you've completed the games.

Most importantly, you can SAVE THE EARTH.

Date: 1-3 July 2011
Time: 11am - 9pm
Venue: East Entrance Atrium, Ground Floor, Mid Valley Megamall

David and I attended Recyclimpics with four old Nokia phones which we intended to recycle. We submitted the phones to the counter and gotten them all wrapped up in bubble wraps. Then, we were given a score card for each phone and that gave us four score cards!

Here's the Lawn Bowl station. What you need to do is to slide your phone on the board and try to reach the red band that gives you 40 points. You have three tries for each phone to accumulate a total of 120 points max per score card at this station.

Here's the Javelin station. Aim at the five holes with different diameters and throw your phone. Try to aim at the smallest hole (red) that gives you 50 points. You have three tries for each phone to accumulate a total of 150 points max per score card at this station.

Here's the Basketball station. Aim at the three nets with different heights on the vertical board and throw your phone. Try to aim at the highest net (red) that gives you 30 points. You have three tries for each phone to accumulate a total of 90 points max per score card at this station.

Our scores on four score cards. :P

See the four phones circled in black in the photo above? Those are, I mean were, our old phones that we finally donated into the recycling box. :)

Recycle a phone and plant a tree. Here's an excerpt from the thank you-registration card:

Thank you for recycling with Nokia.
If you have recycled a phone, Nokia will plant a tree under your name in Ciliwung, Indonesia.
