Donate Used Electronics, Get Free Hyphen

August 20, 2010

When you donate your electronics (shipping is on us!), all proceeds go to Hyphen, and if your goods are valued at $18 or over (the qualifying amount for donations), you get a free 1 year subscription to our magazine. If the value is $57 and over, you get a two-year subscription in addition to a snazzy t-shirt.

Sounds like an excellent trade-off, doesn't it?

As part of Hyphen's ongoing fundraising efforts, we're teaming up with LeafSwap to try to get mo' money the green way. When you donate your electronics (shipping is on us!), all proceeds go to Hyphen, and if your goods are valued at $18 or over (the qualifying amount for donations), you get a free 1 year subscription to our magazine. If the value is $57 or over, you get a two-year subscription in addition to a snazzy t-shirt.

So putz around the house and look for that old cell phone or iPod (or Zune, no judgments here...) and visit the LeafSwap section on our website to get the ball rolling on your donation.

After several failed attempts at a catchy slogan ("Let Hyphen be your landfill!" or "Hyphen wants your junk!"), I've just decided to end with, "Please donate."

It's why I don't work in Advertising, people.
