Cash
for tech
Trade in your electronics, get a Costco Cash card
them, and ship the items to Gazelle
for free.
4. Once your items are evaluated, receive a Costco Cash card
within 10 days.
“This program currently enables
you to trade in and recycle electronic
gadgets in 20 categories, and we
continue to add more each month,”
says Lani Lok, a Costco manager of
the program.
For items the program does not
yet accept (such as fax machines,
printers and TVs), you can use the
site’s Recycler Network Directory to find a
local recycler near your home. Contact
information is provided.
For security, “Gazelle will remove personal data from the old gadgets prior to issuing the Costco Cash card,” says Lani. All
items are wiped of personal data and reset to
factory settings, according to Gazelle. As an
added measure of security, for items with
hard drives, the company uses Department of
Defense–approved software and performs all
tasks in a controlled, secure environment.
The Trade-In & Recycle Program is available to all Costco members.—T. Foster Jones

Web site.
