Trade your old iPod for a Target GiftCard

Target has a new initiate to promote recycling old iPods in partnership with NextWorth, a company that helps consumers get value out of their used electronics equipment by refurbishing and reselling traded-in goods. Instead of throwing away your old MP3 player you can send them to Target.com and get a Target GiftCard in return. Not bad!

(Shameless plug) All you need to do is go to the Electronics page on Target.com and click on "iPod + MP3 Players" and select "Trade in your iPod for Target GiftCard.: The site will direct you to NextWorth where you will get an estimate of your item's value which is also the GiftCard amount you will receive. The GiftCard should be mailed to you in 10-14 business days.

Although I am a bit bias to Target, I will say that I think this is a great partnership and a great way to show that Target cares about reducing waste. Plus, it is an excellent way to get rid of your unwanted electronics and to get a little something in return. I do wish, however, that you could trade other electronics like cell phones as well. Maybe that will be phase 2 of the initiative.
