Austin, TX — Nomad Internet, the largest rural wireless internet provider in the U.S., has introduced RecycleNomad.com, a pioneering program that rewards customers for returning old Nomad modems. In a first-of-its-kind move for the ISP industry, the initiative converts equipment returns into a positive experience, helping customers earn rewards, reducing e-waste, and supporting rural families with affordable internet access.
Turning Fees Into Rewards
Where most ISPs penalize customers for unreturned devices, Nomad is flipping the script. Through RecycleNomad.com, anyone with an unused Nomad modem can send it back at no cost using a prepaid shipping label and receive a $50 Visa® or Mastercard® gift card powered by Tremendous.
“For too long, ISPs have fined customers for not returning hardware. We’re changing that narrative,” said Jaden Garza, CEO of Nomad Internet. “Even if you never plan to use Nomad again, you’ll get $50 just for sending back your modem. It’s cash in your pocket and one less device polluting a landfill.”
Two Easy Participation Options
1. Recycle & Earn $50
- Return any old Nomad modem.
- Receive a $50 reward via Visa®, Mastercard®, PayPal, Venmo, or bank transfer.
- No contracts or conditions.
2. Reconnect & Earn More
- Former customers who give Nomad’s upgraded service another try receive one free month of service plus a $100 gift card after activation and usage.
- This lets past subscribers test the improved Nomad experience while being rewarded for their trust.
Why It Matters
- Environmental Impact: Keeps thousands of devices out of landfills and ensures proper recycling.
- Social Impact: Refurbished modems are redirected to rural households in need of reliable, low-cost internet.
- Customer Impact: For the first time in the ISP industry, customers are rewarded, not punished, for returns.
“RecycleNomad.com isn’t just about hardware recycling,” Garza added. “It’s about proving that Nomad has rebuilt itself. We’ve expanded coverage, improved speeds, simplified pricing, and redesigned customer support. Now we’re inviting customers to see the difference and paying them to give us another chance.”
A Rebuilt Nomad Internet
Over the last two years, Nomad has invested heavily to elevate its services:
- Expanded Coverage: Broader connectivity in rural and remote U.S. regions.
- Next-Gen Devices: Faster SIMs and smarter modems with easier setup.
- Flexible Plans: Affordable, transparent options without contracts.
- Customer-First Service: Faster response times and proactive support for a smoother experience.
RecycleNomad.com represents both a sustainability commitment and a bold statement of confidence in these upgrades.
Redefining ISP Standards
Industry observers note that Nomad may be setting a new precedent for ISPs. Instead of treating returns as a cost, Nomad is using them to reward customers, reduce waste, and rebuild trust.
“This program is about more than recycling; it’s about trust,” Garza concluded. “We acknowledge that not every past experience was perfect. RecycleNomad.com is our way of saying: we hear you, we value you, and we’re backing that up with real money.”
