Office Depot Seeks Obsolete Electronics

Retailer’s goal is to collect 400 tons of traded-in products for recycling.

Office Depot, a Boca Raton, Fla.-based office products and services retailer, has announced its new Tech Trade-In promotion designed to provide discount incentives to customers to recycle their obsolete electronics.

Connecting in part with the upcoming 40th anniversary of Earth Day, Office Depot says its goal is to collect 400 tons of products for recycling during the one-month promotion window

“In the wake of a tough economy, Office Depot is excited to help our customers turn their old technology products into savings,” says Randy Wick, vice president of merchandising for Office Depot. “Not only is this a smart way for customers to earn extra cash and do their part to help the environment, but it also provides a great opportunity for small business customers to upgrade their outdated office equipment without breaking the bank.”

Customers have an ongoing option to recycle their old ink and toner cartridges and receive $3 back in Office Depot’s Worklife Rewards value.

During the Trade-In Trade Up event, Office Depot also is offering a four-week in-store promotion featuring these offers:
