Given the recent iPhone 5 craze, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that quite a lot of people are seriously looking into the possibility of swapping their old phones for new and upgraded models.

Apparently, people living in the US will have a significantly easier time doing this than those inhabiting other parts of the planet, given the fact that the country's Postal Service agreed to expand its electronics recycling program.

Thus, those who wish to finally say goodbye to their old gadgets only have to access a website, get informed with the help of MaxBack, mail the device, wait for MaxBack to inspect it and then be on the lookout as their money will soon be sent to them.

Just for the record, the gadgets that will not abide by the standards of these transactions are to be dealt with accordingly, the goal being to avoid their ending up in a landfill.
