Trashie is tackling the growing problem of e-waste with the introduction of the Tech Take Back Box, touted as "the easiest way for people to responsibly get rid of old phones, cords, chargers, laptops, tablets, and many other electronic devices."
In the past 12 months, Trashie sold over 500,000 Take Back Bags, which people filled with clothing, accessories, footwear, and other textiles and sent back to Trashie's recycling facility. With the new Tech Take Back Box, the company is expanding beyond textiles to technology, tackling a category that makes major contributions to landfills.
Consumers can purchase small or medium boxes from Trashie's site, fill them with approved items, scan the QR code for a free UPS shipping label, and drop them off at any UPS location.
