Like many people, I have a draw full of cell phones I no longer use. They are all too easy to accumulate, especially when you have a busy schedule. So what to do with them? Selling on eBay is now for the professionals, and meeting up with a stranger on Craigslist in a Starbucks is not everyone’s ideal way of spending a weekday evening to sell an old gadget.
You now have many options online with companies like trade2save who will offer instant cash for your gadgets. Most of us provide a free shipping label too, so you can send in your phone without any cost either.
Trade2save is different because we also give you Carbon Credits, the only company in America to do so.
So What are Carbon Credits?
Let’s face it, your love for the best and latest cell phone is not exactly the greenest thing you do. OK, so you put out the green bin every week and feel a bit better about that, but did you know that the average Cell Phone expels about 3000lbs of Carbon – from manufacture, delivery, usage and ultimately e-waste?
Now imagine that you traded in all your old cellphones to trade2save, found the price on our website, and shipped them to us with the free fedex shipping label. Well, for starters you’d get the best trade-in price available – but you’s also get Carbon Points. When you obtain a quote online, we also have an algorithm that calculated the amount of Carbon you are saving by trading in that phone. When you enable that phone to be resold and put back into the market, you are reducing the amount of new ones needed for resale.
Don’t worry about making a dent in the new Cell Phone Market – this has been steadily growing by 40% year on year.
So what are my Carbon Credits worth?
For every 2500lbs of Carbon saved, you get back $50 cash. For example, say you want to sell an HTC HD2 . You would get $292 cash (if in very good condition) but also you would earn 644lbs of Carbon Credits.Sell a few more things and very soon your account will gain 2500lbs for your $50 cash back.
Our scheme not only rewards, but it also encourages people to start thinking about their electronics purchases, and also what to do with their old ones.
There is no such thing as a green phone, but every phone can be greener by using them responsibly – and trade2save is here to make sure that you’ll get paid to be responsible – and extend the life of your old phone when you recycle your cell phone for cash.
