As a vending operator, there’s plenty of technology being used — but where does it go once it’s no longer useful? Trashie launched its recycling and rewards platform with the Tech Take Back Box. With the help of Trashie, you can responsibly get rid of old phones, cords, tablets, chargers, laptops, and many other electronic devices.
According to the World Health Organization, electronic waste – or e-waste – is one of the fastest-growing solid waste streams in the world. Now, the company is expanding into technology recycling, an area with even fewer options for responsible disposal.
Why Trashie Over Other Recycling Programs
With Trashie’s unique model, you earn rewards for recycling electronics rather than contributing to landfills. They aim to make it as easy while earning up to $40 in TrashieCash, which can be redeemed for rewards and deals in entertainment, dining, fitness, travel, and lifestyle brands like AMC Cinemas or Allbirds, for instance.
“We are excited to bring the success we’ve seen with the Take Back Bag and textile recycling to e-waste, which is increasing at a rate that is almost impossible to comprehend,” said Founder and CEO of Trashie, Kristy Caylor. “What we’ve been able to do at Trashie is find a way to connect with consumers, give them a fun and accessible way to recycle, and greatly help mitigate the damage.” She added: “This means making it as easy, convenient, and rewarding as possible to get rid of all that stuff, and we are excited to bring the success we’ve seen with the Take Back Bag and textile recycling to e-waste, which is increasing at a rate that is almost impossible to comprehend.”
Simply order a Take Back Bag (small is $20, medium is $25), fill with approved electornic items, then drop off at any UPS location. This includes old or new items, even if they’re cracked or broken. By managing all recycling directly, Trashie guarantees that data is securely handled and destroyed while maximizing the recovery of valuable materials and metals.
