About Gazelle

GREEN IS GOOD

Gazelle is committed to joining with you to do what we can to keep our planet green and healthy.

Take a look at these statistics:
- The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that in 2005, Americans got rid of 304 million TVs, VCRs, cell phones, computers and monitors. Two-thirds of them still worked.
- The EPA estimates that during the same year, between 1.5 and 1.9 tons of discarded electronics ended up in landfills.

No step is so small that it shouldn't be taken.
Selling to Gazelle puts you at the forefront of reCommerce - a new movement to realize the value of reuse as a powerful first step in recycling. Of course, if your old stuff has no resale value, Gazelle will make sure it's recycled properly.

We've partnered with Recellular to ensure nothing we take in ever goes into a landfill. Ever. So far, thousands of people have kept nearly 5 tons of ewaste out of landfills by using Gazelle.

Green: it's our favorite color. Make it yours.

WHAT WE DO
Gazelle wants to change the world. It is our purpose – and our promise – to provide a practical, rewarding way for people to finally rid themselves of all those old laptops that they no longer use, but can’t seem to find a way to let go of.

Personal data wiped from all items
Security and privacy of personal data and information is an important issue, and here at Gazelle we take it extremely seriously. We’ve developed a robust inspection and data cleansing process. Every item we receive is physically inspected by a real person. Erasure and cleansing of all data and personal information is a standard part of every inspection, and all commercially reasonable efforts are made to revert items to original factory settings. As an additional step to ensure quality, we randomly select items for a secondary inspection. We’ve been able to hone the process while processing tens of thousands of items to date.

Too often when people think of recycling, they rush straight to smashing things into bits for parts. We believe that reuse should always come first. If your GPS unit still works, why not keep it in circulation AND get paid for it? If reusing isn’t in the cards, then let us recycle that vintage camcorder. We think of it as ReCommerce.
Yeah, we’re green. Green for you with rewards in your pocket. Green for the environment with fewer electronics being trashed.

It’s good to Gazelle. That’s our promise.
