Recycle your Old GPS - BestBuy, RadioShack and NextWorth

Let's face it, these things don't last forever, and if you are like me, the pie of old electronics is stacking up in the closet. Recently I have seen a lot of movement in the recycling area for electronics, including GPS units so I thought I would pass some ideas along. So, hey, It's Earth Day why not dig those old electronics out of the closet and make a difference.

BestBuy - No charge for most electronics, buy laptops, TVs and monitors under 32" require a $10 fee, but you also get a $10 Gift Card in return. Short list of things they don't take at their Recycling Page

RadioShack - More of a trade-in program that offers you money in the form of a Radio Shack gift card in return for your gently used electronics. You input your unit's model number, answer a few questions on its condition and get an appraisal. I ran a Nuvi 350 through in good condition and it was worth about $28. Not a lot, but better than nothing. Free shipping too. See their Trade in program page for more details.

NextWorth - This website will appraise your electronics, and once cleared and checked out, will send you a gift card to either Amazon.com or Target or a check or cash via PayPal. I checked out the same Nuvi 350 and they offered $36, which at the end of the check-in screens, they offer a rpe-paid shipping label to slap on your stuff and send it off. They just started doing GPS units, so to me, this looks like a great deal compared to the other ones. 1) They pay you, 2) You are not limited to credit at one store and 3) seems pretty easy to do with pre-paid mailing labels.
