Amazon will reward you with an Amazon gift card through the Amazon Trade-In program when you send in your old electronics and devices, including Kindle e-readers, tablets, streaming media players, Bluetooth speakers and headphones, home security devices, wireless routers, cellphones and gaming systems.

Target

Target holds periodic Car Seat Trade-In Events. During the two-week program, Target stores accept and recycle all types of car seats, including infant seats, convertible seats, car seat bases and harness or booster seats — even if they are damaged or expired. When you trade in your old seat, you’ll get a coupon for 20% off a new car seat, car seat base, travel system, stroller or select baby home gear.

The Trade-In Event is going on now until April 27. The bonus will expire on May 11.
