Gazelle accepts used electronics, including Cell Phones, Laptops, Digital Cameras, MP3 Players, Video Games, PDAs, Gaming Consoles, GPS Devices, Movies, Camcorders, Desktops, LCD Monitors, Satellite Radios, Calculators, External Drives, Camera Lenses, Projectors, Streaming Media, Home Audio, and Blu-Ray Players.  After signing up for an account, you submit the items you’d like to sell.  Gazelle offers you a price and, if you accept, sends you a postage-paid box for your items.  Once they receive and inspect your items, they will send NMLC a check for the sale amount.  The gadgets themselves are either resold for reuse (after all personal information is removed) or responsibly recycled.

Featured by CNN, the Today Show, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times, www.gazelle.com is a wonderful way to recycle unwanted gadgets while helping to open NMLC’s new marine animal hospital.
