What does Gazelle do with the electronics?   Per their website, "Gazelle believes that electronics recycling starts witih reuse.  After we buy electronics and gadgets, we evaluate their condition.  When we receive items that are still in working condition, we extend their lives by removing all personal data from them, and selling the electronics through a variety of retail and wholesale outlets.  Items without market value are recycled responsibly."  ~ Gazelle

Gazelle also has different programs through their website to sign up to do a Gadget Drive for a Cause.
