Sam’s Club Launches Online Electronics Recycling Program

N.E.W. Customer Service Companies, Inc. announces that Sam’s Club has launched ecoNEW, its new online electronics recycling service designed to provide a mail-in service for old and obsolete electronics.

Through the service, members of Sam’s Club can trade in older electronics for a gift card which is determined by a recycle trade-in value generated through the website (www.econewonline.com/samsclub).

The program accepts LCD monitors, digital cameras, PC desktops and laptops, gaming systems, MP3 players, camcorders, and printers. Even if the product does not qualify for a trade-in value, the program still accepts the product for recycling and provides a pre-paid shipping label.

The ecoNEW program has a no export and no landfill guarantee. Collected materials may either be reconditioned or recycled.

To take part in the program, members of Sam’s Club electronics trade-in and recycling program can go to at www.econewonline.com/samsclub. Enter the product information – use the online form to enter information about the electronic item to be recycled. Based on input, the screen will calculate what the estimated trade-in value will be. Enter contact information – enter contact information to receive retail gift card for value of item.

The service offers free shipping. Once ecoNEW receives the item and verifies the information, a gift card is sent to the consumer.

"We are thrilled to be partnering with Sam’s Club on this exciting first retail launch of ecoNEW," said Tony Nader, president and CEO of NEW. "With such growing demands by consumers for environmental programs, ecoNEW gives retail customers a great eco-friendly solution for disposing of electronics while also getting cash value back that they can use with the retailer. The strength of the program lies in this win-win scenario."
