It seems that every month a new cell phone, MP3 player or cool electronic gadget is released, making your current model seem outdated.  Making the decision to upgrade is always exciting but what to do with the old model?  Unfortunately there haven’t been many places where you can easily recycle old electronic equipment and too often they end up in the landfill.  

www.YouRenew.com is on a mission to make the planet a better place and provide an easy way for you to “renew” your old electronics.  Enter your decommissioned product in their search engine, answer a couple of questions about model, condition, and any accessories you may have, and YouRenew.com will give you a quote for the amount they will pay you for your item.  If your product isn’t worth money you can ship it to them for free and they will recycle it for you.  If this isn’t incentive enough, for every item “renewed” or recycled, YouRenew.com will make a donation towards domestic renewable energy or  planting a tree.  YouRenew.com - Simple, Elegant, and Green.  Nicely done.
