Electronic waste is a huge problem. Next time you’re dumping a load off at the landfill take a quick look around and I guarantee you you’ll see a plethora of old gadgets laying around. Not only do they take an eternity to degrade, but often leak all kinds of toxic chemicals into the soil. Fortunately NextWorth accepts old gadgets and gives you back a nice chunk of cash in return, at least partially reducing the amount of e-waste sitting in our landfills.
Previously NextWorth only accepted old iPhones and iPod Touch’s, but the business has now expanded to accept old GPS units, Blackberry’s, cameras, video games and video game consoles. NextWorth then resells suitable gadgets to retailers like Amazon as refurbished units.
It’s definitely worth the 2 minutes it takes to trade in an old gadget. Often you’ll be returned enough cash to pay a good part of the cost to upgrade. Take a Garmin nuvi 760 with light wear and including all the original packaged content such as the instruction manual and mounting kit. That’ll net you $103.36. If it’s in mint condition it’ll net you $114.84.
Currently NextWorth takes back 387 different GPS models from popular Garmin models to unknown Delphi’s. So if you’re looking to upgrade head to NextWorth, earn some money, and do the environment some good.
