Minimize e-waste and get 5% extra cash for trading in your tech with Decluttr

TL; DR: As of Feb. 26, get an extra 5% on price valuation at Decluttr with the code MASH5.

Your old smartphone used to spark so much joy, but now you’ve got the next generation with a better screen, more impressive cameras, and a longer-lasting battery. With 2020 already rolling out some enticing upgrades (are foldable phones really the future?), you might be considering your next trade-in even sooner.

Rather than tossing your retired devices in a drawer, get paid for recycling them (which you should be doing anyway). Decluttr is an easy way to minimize e-waste, which sadly represents 70% of toxic waste in landfills. Seriously, never throw anything with a lithium battery in the trash.

Try Decluttr now and get an extra 5% on the price valuation for your unwanted tech, as well as DVDs, CDS, Blu-rays, textbooks, and LEGO® toys, with the code MASH5 for Mashable readers.  

Get an insta price quote

Curious what your gadgets are worth? Even if you’re still shopping around, lock in an offer on your current items for 28 days with the “Tech Price Promise” guarantee. (If you don’t get that amount, you can always request your items back for free.)

Beat carrier trade-in offers

On average, Decluttr pays up to 33% more than carrier buybacks for smartphones — plus, you’ll get an additional 5% with Mashable’s exclusive code. Without the code, an 64GB Apple iPhone 8 would snag $183, but with it, you’ll get $192.15.  

Ready to skip straight to the S20, S20+, or S20 Ultra for their next-level cameras — or be an early adopter of the Galaxy Z Flip? For Android users, Samsung’s mid-February Unpacked event in S.F. stepped up the smartphone competition, making this a good time to upgrade and trade.  

Laptops are eligible, too

If you’re in the market for a more powerful laptop, some cash for your old one can help your wallet. Sell your 13-inch MacBook Air Core i5 in good condition for $598.50 ($570 without code). Plus, recycling 1 million laptops can save enough energy to run more than 3,500 homes for a year.

Send your items in any box you want

Once you’ve got a free shipping label, pack and send your gear. Then wait for payday via DD, PayPal, or a check. The funds will hit your account the day after your goods arrive at Decluttr HQ. For bonus good vibes, you can also donate your payment to charity.
