About Flipswap Flipswap makes it simple for people to give mobile phones a second shot at life by offering fast, free and eco-friendly ways to trade them in. Flipswap not only gives consumers and businesses instant credit towards another device or cash back, but they also plant a tree for every device recycled and give people the option to donate their phones and iPods to the charity of their choice. The average American buys a new cell phone every 12 months, meaning more than one hundred million working phones become unused every year. At Flipswap, we realized that most of these phones could have a long, useful life ahead of them. So we created a unique way of collecting them to make sure that potentially long lifespan is achieved. Instead of being thrown in a drawer or in the trash, cell phones can now be traded in for instant store credit at one of over 4,000 participating Flipswap retail locations or traded-in for cash at flipswap.com. Flipswap's free and easy to use service can help put a little cash back in your pocket and keep toxic waste out of our landfills. In 2007 alone, Flipswap put enough phones back into use to keep the equivalent of 50 tons of solid waste out of our landfills, and in 2008, Flipswap estimates that they will plant nearly 25,000 trees through their reLeaf initiative partner, CarbonFund.org. Whether you've got one old phone in a drawer at home or a warehouse of overstocked or returned handsets, Flipswap's family of services will pay you to recycle. It has never been this easy to be green! |
