Causes International, Inc. provides 2 ways to Upcycle:
Bulk Collection Upcycling Programs & Online Upcycling Programs
Bulk Collection Upcycle Programs:
Minimal Administration Burden … Maximum Results!
The Steps:
• Go to the Bulk Upcycle registration page.
• Within 24 hours you will receive your log-in username and password to the Bulk Upcycle portal
• Start collecting 10 or more: Laptops (4 years or newer for best value), MacBooks (all models), iPhones and iPads (all models—shattered screens qualify), iPods (all models), smartphones (4 years or newer), and tablets. CI also accepts all cellphones.
• Once you have 10 or more devices to Upcycle log into your portal to request FREE UPS shipping labels. www.causesinternationalbulkupcycle.com
Request up to 10 FREE shipping labels per transaction – Have more than 10 boxes? No problem - log back in and request the additional labels. If you have a large shipment that will require 20 + labels or special shipping and handling, call CI Upcycling support at 781-444-8800. We will assist you with all of your shipping needs.
When requesting your labels you will see an area asking for shipping location. Put the return address in this area.
Shipping Labels with instructions will be sent via email to print.
UPS is our shipping partner. Please choose from the following options:
1) bring the boxes to a UPS drop off center,
2) hand to a UPS driver or
3) bring to your place of business where UPS frequents.
Log in to the portal anytime to track your devices/donations throughout the process—from delivery to completion is approximately 2 weeks once the boxes are received at our processing center.
Upon process completion you will be able to view the data metrics per device and serial number (including data destruction confirmation), and the environmental impact of your donation/s by month, quarter and year.
Remember Upcycle the devices that still have a useful life and recycle the ones that don’t! When you outgrow your devices and Upcycle you nearly doubles the environmental impact of recycling while creating funding for the causes you support!
