Cash For Being Green and Saving the World with Our Help and Dedication

January 30th, 2010

With the e-waste issue still increasing and there still being no solution for this soon to be crisis the Cash For family continue the fight against the pollution to the environment and with your help we can continue to save the planet one laptop, iPhone and Blackberry at a time.

There are many sites to sell your used electronics too, but none that are as thoughtful to the environment as the Cash for family – whether you are selling a laptop to www.cashforlaptops.com, an iPhone to www.cashforiPhones.com or an old Smartphone or blackberry to the other relevant CF sites you can be assured that you are not  being paid to add to the electronic waste heaps across the planet, but in fact you are taking one step closer to reducing that waste heap.

Since the Cash for family was born back in 2002 we are constantly trying to raise awareness of how the public and companies alike can help us to improve the environment in which we inhabit. We have even gone as far as certifying our network of sites as ‘Green Certified Sites’ and displaying visitor, network and server footprints as well as still providing you with the great cash incentive for recycling your used electronics and not trashing them.

To make the process even easier for the community to help us in our battle we introduced PayPal as a form of receiving payment for your old, used and broken laptops, iPhones and Blackberries and we have been overwhelmed with the response from you, the public. Remember every time you open your trash can ask yourself if what you are depositing there has to be placed there, or can it go on to serve a purpose elsewhere, and even put a few extra dollars in your pocket in the process.

We value our country, we value our planet and we are 100% committed to making them both a better place for us, our loved ones and the future residents long after we depart – help us to make this planet green, clean and restored full of beauty.

A Review of the iPhone 3GS

September 4th, 2009

After we have all heard so much about the 3GS, why we should upgrade our current iPhone or even start our iPhone experience with the 3Gs let´s take a look and see why we should take this advice, and why the iPhone 3GS is an improvement on the current models.

The first noticeable feature on the 3GS that shows an improvement on the other iPhones is the speed, the accessing and opening of applications is noticeably faster and now with 32GB of storage it plays a vital role in the everyday use of your 3GS.

A 3 mega-pixel camera for shooting your favorite snaps, and now the ability to record video, edit and share adds some great fun and pleasure to the same phone that can be used by businessmen and women alike, showing the diversity of the iPhone 3GS – something that iPhone have expanded through the generations of iPhones.

With the iPhone 3GS in your pocket you should never expect to be lost again, built in GPS, compass and access to Google maps makes it a great device even for explorers and adventurers.

And bringing the iPhone into the same line as a small handheld computer – you can now use a landscape keyboard for your ease, and cut, copy and paste is no stranger to the 3GS, even for images and text from the web.

Also with great accessibility options the iPhone 3GS can be used by anyone and everyone, and for those that don´t enjoy surfing the net on a small screen you can share the 3GS´s connection with your Mac or laptop!

These are the primary reasons that the iPhone 3GS is rising above the others and Apple are still finding ground for vast improvements every time they launch a new model. You can also take your iPhone experience with them by getting your hands on the new iPhone 3GS, and get paid by us to recycle or trade your current model in any condition.

Congress Proposes Bill to Reduce Electronic Waste

April 1st, 2009

The House Science and Technology Committee directly addressed the consequences of electronic waste with a proposed bill, according to a March 25 article in Congressional Quarterly. This bill would grant $60 million to the Environmental Protection Agency to raise awareness of recycling electronics and finding better ways to collect electronic waste.

When Americans buy new electronics, including laptops, cell phones and mp3 players, many save their old electronics in storage and few recycle their old gadgets. The American electronics industry sells $2 billion a year in new electronics and only 18 percent of old computers and 10 percent of old cell phones are recycled. In fact, Americans have 234 million units buried in storage, according to the most recent figures published by the EPA.

About 157 million computer products and 126 used cell phones still end up in landfills. What a mind-blowing number. In other words for every minute, we dump almost 18,000 computer product units and discard over 14,000 cell phones. That’s every minute! We can do better.

CashForLaptops.com and the CashFor family are committed to raise awareness about recycling your electronics. While we’d only give you cash for laptops that are still in the market, we’ll still send you a pre-paid box to recycle your laptops that are too old to sell. We won’t charge you.

To find out how much we’ll give you to recycle your laptops, visit our estimator page.
And for more information on our services and ways to maximize your experience with us, surf our Web site and follow our blog posts.

We’d love to hear your thoughts about this and other blog posts. Comment!

We Hear You

March 31st, 2009

You have questions and we have answers. We’ve taken the most asked questions from those who want to sell their used laptops that aren’t addressed in the Frequently Asked Questions page and addressing them here. We appreciate all the questions and feedback you have for us as we continue to be your reliable laptop recycler.

I requested a quote for my used laptop on your estimator page, but I haven’t heard from you. What’s wrong?
Make sure that the e-mail address and phone number you provided is updated. If you have any questions about your quote or check, call us 1 888 821-1143 during business hours (9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. pacific standard time) or e-mail us at info@cashforlaptops.com! We love talking to our customers and want to make sure you have a positive experience. We’ll answer all your questions promptly.

I got quoted for a certain amount for my used laptop, but received a check for a different amount? Why?
When you arrive at the estimator page, we ask you a few questions to get a feel for the condition for your used laptop. Once your laptop arrives in our facility, we use a more detailed checklist to accurately evaluate your laptop’s condition. If it’s in better shape than we initially thought, we guarantee that we’ll offer you more money than the original quote. If there’s a crack or other damage that we’ll give you market value for it. At that point, if you’re not happy with the amount you’ll get, then we’re not happy. And we can send the laptop back to you at your request.

How do I determine the screen size of my laptop?
The easiest way to determine your laptop’s LCD screen size is to measure it diagonally with a ruler. If the measurement is 12.7″ to 13.3″, we consider it a 13″ screen; if the measurement is 13.7″ to 14.3″, we consider it a 14″ screen; and so on. If you are not sure of the size of your LCD screen, check 14″; this is the most common size. We will make the necessary adjustments to the quoted price when your laptop arrives at our facility.

Why wasn’t I quoted a price for my used laptops?
We will buy laptops that are still in the market, but those we can’t buy we’ll happily take them off your hands and recycle them for you. We appreciate that you want to do your part for the environment.

We want to know what your experience with CashForLaptops.com was like. Comment on our blog!
