NextWorth Expands Popular Consumer Electronics Trade-in and Recycling Program Beyond iPodsTM and iPhonesTM
Now Accepts Used BlackBerry™, Digital Cameras, GPS Systems, Video
Games and Video Game Consoles in Exchange for Cash or Gift Cards at
Target and Amazon
LAWRENCE, Mass. --(Business Wire)-- Apr 14, 2009
NextWorth (www.nextworth.com),
a leading player in consumer electronic upgrades and trade-ins,
announces new categories of electronics accepted for online trade-in.
Now, users can make money with old electronics and help promote reuse
and recycling by using NextWorth to trade-in their old BlackBerry™
phones, digital cameras, GPS systems, video games and video game consoles
in addition to the original iPodTM and iPhoneTM
trade-in categories.
“We’re building on past success with our iPod and iPhone trade-in
program and have responded to customer requests to expand into other
product categories,” said Dave Chen, CEO of NextWorth. “We’re now
helping consumers make some extra cash from more of these devices,
allowing them to upgrade to the latest and greatest gadgets and video
games, while at the same time doing our part to reduce some of the 1.5
to 1.9 million tons of electronics waste disposed every year from ending
up in landfills.”
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, electronic waste is
growing 2-3 times faster than any other waste stream. NextWorth diverts
electronic products from the waste stream by giving consumers the
easiest, safest and fastest ways to sell and buy used electronics
products. By providing consumers the opportunity to get value for their
used equipment and re-directing the equipment from the landfill - then
into the hands of new users – the program increases the lifetime use of
products to preserves natural resources. If the device does not hold any
value at the time of trade-in, NextWorth still provides free shipping to
customers and disposes of the device through responsible recycling
practices.
Trading in an old device is now easier than ever with NextWorth’s Web
site redesign and enhanced functionality at www.nextworth.com.
To find the value of your product, simply type the product name in the
