Electronics Recycling
Walmart partners with the Samsung Recycling Direct(SM) program Recycling old televisions, DVD players and other consumer electronics is now easier, thanks to a new partnership between Walmart and Samsung Electronics America. Through the Samsung Recycling DirectSM program, our customers can recycle Samsung consumer electronics, as well as those from our former private brands Durabrand and Ilo (no longer sold at Walmart), for free at numerous fixed drop-off locations in all 50 states (Other brands are recyclable for a nominal fee. )
This program is another step in our commitment to doing business in a sustainable way. We’re continuously working to introduce sustainable practices into all we do; likewise, we’re also making it more convenient for our customers to do the same in their own lives. Moreover, we think it’s important to partner with responsible recyclers, such as those working with us and Samsung. Such partners aren’t allowed to incinerate, send to solid waste landfill, or export toxic waste (defined in a manner consistent with the commonly accepted definition of hazardous electronic waste) to developing countries. This way, we are truly building a better world for generations to come. Visit Samsung Recycling Direct SM Walmart.com partners with Gazelle Walmart.com has teamed up with Gazelle, the nation’s largest online consumer electronics reCommerce service, to power an Electronics Trade-In Program. The innovative partnership will enable Walmart.com customers to earn Walmart Prepaid Visa Cards by responsibly trading in their used electronics, including cell phones, laptops, MP3 players, digital cameras, and more at walmart.gazelle.com. Sam’s Club partners with ecoNEW Sam’s Club, in partnership with ecoNEW, offers an electronics trade-in and recycle program through samsclub.com. The program began as a test phase in March 2008 and was relaunched in September 2009 with an improved user interface and a broader range of product categories included. A user enters information about the item being traded in and the system will generate a value. The user then receives a prepaid shipping label to send the item in. After the item is received and verified, the user will receive a gift card for the agreed upon value. If the item is projected to not have residual value, the user will receive a prepaid shipping label so that the item can be responsibly recycled. Visit http://econewonline.com/samsclub/.
