Since TradeUps.com launched in January 2008, they have put $16,109,685.48 back into consumers’ wallets! TradeUps.com provides a place for folks to send or sell their old or unwanted electronics. It’s a real need!  Only about 12.5% of the electronic waste Americans throw out each year gets recycled, and that doesn’t begin to count the forgotten cell phones, iPods, and other small electronics lying in unopened drawers and dark closet corners. According to the EPA, in 2007, 235 million of those replaced or retired electronic units were in storage. It’s the electronics that end up in landfills that cause the real problem, though. E-waste (or electronic waste) may be responsible for as much as 70% of the heavy metals in landfills, including 40% of all lead.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

TradeUps.com offers part of a solution to a growing problem. TradeUps.com buys working electronic units from consumers for refurbishing and reselling, and takes non-working electronics off of people’s hands for recycling. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved, from consumer to the planet! And what’s more, TradeUps.com has an affiliate program that pays affiliates for helping spread the word.

TradeUps.com has a unique patent-pending widget that allows affiliates to promote TradeUps.com on their site without losing traffic. The widget lets consumers complete a full TradeUps transaction without ever leaving the host site. And because that transaction often means more money in the consumer’s pocket, they are primed for spending more on the affiliate’s other program offers!
