So nice to have an easy way to manage old tech. Ours might be too old to reuse, but it beat putting nine old phones in the trash. TBH, we didn't have the ability to power up old phones to delete perso... See more

The process was super easy and straightforward. I just have to trust that my personal information was deleted from the device that wouldn’t power on, but I’m happy to know the ones I could factory reset will either get a new life or be responsibly recycled.

I really appreciate the free shipping

I really appreciate the free shipping, the confirmation when my shipment was received, and the meaningful causes you support. It’s great to have a place to responsibly send old electronics — and let’s face it, everyone has some lying around!

Free shipping

Free shipping. Confirmation that you received my shipment. And the causes that you support. It's so good to have some place to send our old electronics. And everybody has old electronics!

Simple and Easy!

I love the idea of passing on still usable phones to someone who could use it. Big Sky made it simple and easy . I sent 5 phones so the shipping was free. It worked like a charm!

Give your old cellphones new life

I had a number of cellphones I no longer used and I was excited to be able to donate them to charities that might put them to use. Big Sky provided a pre-paid shipping label so I could donate the phones at no expense to myself.

The process was so easy

The process was so easy. I just have to trust my personal info was deleted from the device that no longer turned on. But for those that could be factory reset, I'm glad they will be given a new life or recycled properly.

This was a very easy and environmentally friendly way to recycle numerous cell phones. I just packed the phones in a box, printed the return label and taped it to the box. I put the box in my mailbox, and the USPS collected it.
