NextWorth Extends Recycling Services Beyond iPods and iPhones

NextWorth, the company that, last year, announced a trade-in service for first-generation iPhone owners looking to upgrade to the new 3G model, has now confirmed expanding its recycling services beyond Apple's iPods and iPhones. The player in consumer electronic upgrades and trade-ins informed of new categories of electronics accepted for online trade-in, which include BlackBerry phones, digital cameras, GPS systems, video games and video game consoles.

According to NextWorth, users can make money by sending in their old electronics, while helping promote reuse and recycling via NextWorth's trade-in services. The company cites findings by the Environmental Protection Agency, which has recently revealed that electronic waste is growing two-three times faster than any other waste stream. By giving consumers easy, safe and fast ways to sell and buy used electronic products, NextWorth diverts electronic products from the waste stream.

Just as important, the program increases the lifetime use of products to preserve natural resources, by providing consumers with the opportunity to get value for their used equipment and re-directing the equipment from the landfill. And, if you're committed to preserving the environment and properly disposing of a device containing toxic materials, yet it isn't worth any cash, NextWorth still provides free shipping and disposes of the device through responsible recycling practices.

“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,” Dave Chen, CEO of NextWorth, said. “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.”
