Virgin Media O2 expands its O2 Recycle initiative so the public can trade in gaming systems from PlayStation, Xbox, Oculus and Nintendo for cash.
People can send their unwanted tech devices to O2 Recycle for free where the device will be repaired, refurbished, resold, or recycled – with zero parts going to landfill. Gamers will receive up to £283 for a PlayStation 5, up to £110 for a Nintendo Switch (OLED) and up to £238 for an Xbox Series X, as long as the devices work fully.
The initiative, which aims to tackle e-waste and promote the circular economy, is also now accepting MacBooks, alongside smartphones, tablets, wearables and earbuds. Anyone can use O2 Recycle regardless of their mobile network.
Virgin Media O2 said its recent research showed 58% of gamers were unaware that consoles could be recycled. While 83% said they’re holding onto old consoles, despite not planning to use them, and 42% said they don’t use their old gaming device because it’s broken or missing a part.
