Telus launches trade-in program

If you have an old cell lying around the house, you can now trade it in.

Telus’ new trade-in program will reward customers with instant in-store credit for their unused devices while giving them a chance to dispose of their electronic waste safely and smartly.

A recent survey commissioned by Telus revealed 61% of respondents had between one and five old cell phones at home.

82% said they would hand in their old phones if they knew they would be disposed of safety.

Working in collaboration with eRecyclingCorps (eRC), TELUS is making its trade-in program available to all TELUS customers, both new and existing. As of today, customers can present their device at a TELUS store and will be offered a credit if the phone is recent enough that it can be refurbished or, if not, a donation of $3 to Tree Canada in their name toward the planting of a tree for each unit recycled. Customers can trade in up to three phones, mobile Internet keys or mobile Wi-Fi devices (with a maximum combined value of up to $200). Credits will be applied to device or accessory costs for a new activation or renewal at time of trade.
