Recycled smartphones, eco-friendly accessories and more environmentally-friendly options at Verizon

Eco-friendly products and sustainable smartphone accessories are readily available to consumers, but the impact our tech devices have on the environment is rarely considered. Taking action to recycle, reuse and reduce waste, and even lower your carbon footprint, are common ways to play your part in living a more eco-friendly lifestyle. And now, there are more ways than ever to be more sustainable with your personal devices, and it couldn’t be any easier.

Certified pre-owned and refurbished smartphones

Buying eco-friendly and sustainable tech accessories is a big step forward in helping to make a positive difference in our world. One way to be more sustainable with your smartphone is by purchasing certified pre-owned devices. Certified pre-owned devices are certified high-quality devices that have been owned by another user, and are either refurbished or barely-used and then traded-in so other users can purchase them in the future. By buying certified pre-owned devices you can help a device live a longer life-cycle, and exercise your part in the “reuse” cycle. 

Looking for a way to “recycle” your current device? Trading-in your device can be a great way to recycle your smartphone without simply throwing it away. Learn more about Verizon’s trade-in policy and the value you could get for your current smartphone.
