The effort announced today by Sterling, Virginia-based new Customer Service Companies will accept older small to medium size electronics. Sam's Club, a division of world's largest retailer Wal-Mart, won't collect the items at its stores. But members will be able to ship items free of charge to recycling centers.

For items determined to still have value, members will get Sam's Club gift cards. Even if the items aren't purchased, the program will provide prepaid shipping and will recycle the items.
