What Does Eco Recycling Do?
Eco Recycling is an electronics recycler. Our mission is to keep electronics in use as long as possible to keep e-waste to a minimum in our landfills, while putting money in your pocket. How do we accomplish this? We purchase used electronics and resell them to people that may be upgrading from much older technology at a reduced cost. We also purchase broken devices and send them to refurbishing centers to be used for parts and then sold as quality working units again. Not only does the environment benefit from what we do, but you do as well. We pay you top dollar on your used or unwanted electronics so that you can purchase the newest, latest, and greatest with the least amount of impact on your wallet! Here is an example: Say you have an older smartphone and you are ready to sell your phone for money to put towards a newer model. Let’s say we are offering $150 for your current phone and the cost of your upgrade to the new model is a standard $199.99. The impact on your wallet is now only $49.99 to purchase the newest smartphone model!
Can I Sell a Phone I Still Owe Money On?
Yes, you can sell your phone even if you still owe money on it. Most carriers waive the right in your Equipment Installment Plan to repossess your device if you fail to pay it off. It’s important that you still pay off the phone, of course, to avoid getting a bad IMEI or ESN number from your carrier — many networks will refuse to provide for blacklisted devices.
Can I Sell My Phone If It’s Broken?
Yes! We understand the environmental risks of throwing electronic devices in the trash, so we encourage individuals to sell their damaged or broken phones. As long as we’re accepting the type of device you have, we’ll offer you cash to take it off your hands!
How Do I Find My Phone Model?
You can find the model of your phone by going into the device’s settings and locating the “About” or “About Phone” section. It should give you access to your model, serial number, carrier, network and more.
How Many Phones Can I Sell?
