Gazelle is an organization committed to creating a revolution in consumption, inviting people to think differently about the products we buy, own, sell and dispose of. The company’s vision for the future is that every consumer electronic is considered for reCommerce and that none end up in a landfill. You might think that this sounds like an insurmountable goal, however Gazelle has certainly shown that they are up for the challenge.
Gazelle has added a twist to ecycling electronics – they provide an easy, fast and safe way to sell and recycle electronics. Gazelle purchases most categories of consumer electronics including cell phones, laptops, LCD monitors, calculators, and cameras. Have you been dying for the iPhone 4 but having trouble justifying it because you barely have any mileage on your 3GS? Perhaps the largest division of Gazelle’s business at the moment is iPhone trades. Since June 7th, Gazelle has seen more than 10,000 iPhone trades, 10x the amount received following the announcement of the 3GS last June.
The entire Gazelle process is designed to be simple, fast, reliable and green. Consumers simply can go to www.gazelle.com, search for their product, answer a few simple product questions, and rate the overall condition of the electronic. Then Gazelle will calculate an offer. As added benefit Gazelle will send you a postage paid box for your electronics and ensures all data is properly removed from every gadget that is traded.
