Whether a business owner or home owner, we're all looking for ways to save a buck and save the planet at the same time.
I don't know about you, but I'm starting to amass a pretty good collection of used laptops, desktops and other small electronics. Wouldn't it be nice to know that these items could be recycled and maybe get a little $$$ to spend on more decorating projects?
Well check out our friends at Costco. They've partnered with Gazelle to purchase and recycle used electronics including laptops, cell phones, LCD monitors, digital cameras, MP3 players, blu-ray players, gaming systems and more.... and you earn Costco Cash for your efforts.
One additional benefit, Gazelle also cleans all hard drives etc... of personal data using Dept. of Defense software in a secure, controlled environment to insure your privacy is protected.
I'm glad to see that big business is finally seeing the value in recycling and also compensating consumers to encourage a more planet friendly approach to disposing of these items.
If you know of any other local or national programs, I'd love to hear about them!

Jeff: This info is very timely for me! Just this week we have done some techno-updating in our house and I have an older monitor, etc that I did not know what to do with. Great information!
Way to go Costco! I knew I loved them- they really do take an earth-friendly approach in so many ways, I am happy to hear this latest way to offer their customers another way to save money.
Thanks for sharing this info with all of us!
