TradeUps mission is to provide you with the best value for your old electronics and to make sure they get a new life or, if necessary, an environmentally-friendly retirement.
Every year, more than 100 million cell phones are replaced in the United States. 85 million digital cameras. 40 million home computers. What happens to the old gear? More often than not, they end up in a drawer or a closet. And therein lies the problem: it's not red wine... it doesn't get more valuable with age. The time to lock in the value of your old electronics is the moment you replace them.
TradeUps processes more than 5,000 units per week, and we've got room for your old units. We test, clean, recover and/or recycle everything we receive. We follow a zero-landfill policy. Everything received, from your old phone, to the battery to the packaging in the box gets reused or recycled. And, best of all, if we think we can resell it, we pay you for it. More than $10 million in 2008 alone.
