The BlackBerry Trade Up Program is managed by Flipswap, Inc, an independently owned and operated organization dedicated to the environmentally responsible reuse and recycling of old cell phones.

Flipswap provides an easy, free and eco-friendly way to trade in old cell phones or wireless devices.

In minutes you can turn your old mobile devices into cash, store credit, gift cards or even support for your favorite charitable organization.

Flipswap provides all the tools you need to determine a real-time trade-in value for any mobile phone in any condition, instantly. Then, Flipswap provides free shipping to their facility where your mobile device is checked, any personal data is erased and a check is sent out immediately.

Flipswap's free and easy to use family of services can triple or even quadruple the useful life of a cell phone. In 2008 alone, Flipswap put enough phones back into use to keep the equivalent of 50 tons of solid waste, most of it toxic, out of our landfills.

With Flipswap's reLeaf initiative you can even trade your old mobile phones in for a tree. Old or broken mobile devices may not yield a trade-in value. Flipswap will still provide free shipping for those devices and ensure that they are recycled using the most eco-firendly proccess available. Then Flipwap will plant a tree for you in one of several reforestation projects world wide.

In addition, they're also an EPA WasteWise Partner

Once we've received your phone and proof of purchase, we'll process it and send you a check! That's all there is to it.
