Trade In for Gift Cards

Trade-Ins’ are not just for cars anymore.
Similar to the way you trade in your car when you are ready for a newer model it is now possible to trade in some of your used office electronics and receive gift cards in exchange at both Best Buy and Circuit City.
Of course if you have the time and inclination you can probably sell your used electronics on EBay or thru another auction venue.
The trade-in option is convenient, quick and easy, plus you can find out up front how much your gift card will be issued for. Unlike auctions, where if you don’t have a reserve, you may get less than you expected.
Best Buy and Circuit City offer similar programs to trade in your office electronics.
Best Buy goes a step further with older equipment that they do not accept for trade in. You may not be able to get a gift card but if it is less than 70 pounds they may send you a free shipping pick up ticket to have the item recycled at no cost to you.
I am excited to see the stores making it easy for us to make our home office green. With the easy trade in and recycling programs I have reviewed I don’t think I’ll ever need to throw away an office electronic again.
Do you know of other trade in or recycling programs? Please tell me about them.
