20 Ways to Get Cash Back From Your Old Cell Phone

Have old phones laying around?  Try one of these 20 ways to get some quick cash back or 10 great places to donate them to charity!

While cleaning out my room, I realized I have a ton of old electronics laying around. Laptops, phones, iPods, and a tablet that survived a 2 story fall only to get knocked off the couch & die. I didn't want to just throw them away, so I started looking for ways to recycle them and was shocked how much they are worth!  Even the ones that are a bit old & outdated!

Before selling a device, make sure to clear it out so all of your personal information is removed!
