– Computer monitor (I know Best Buy charge for recycling and then give you "cash back" = to what you paid them for recycling. I'm looking to get rewards, otherwise i can donate it to goodwill)
– window AC units
– Blender
– inexpensive old models of cellphones not eligible for trade-in
Btw Staples gives reward points for recycling batteries
I don't find things like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist to be safe. I know it works well for many people and I'm great that it does but I'm personally not comfortable to risk getting mugged over $10
Does anybody know if there are rebates/cash back/ rewards for recycling the following appliances in USA?

Where did you hear that places give you rewards, and what kind exactly. I’ve not heard of anything like that. Recycling electronics is expensive and cumbersome so I’m not aware of any companies also paying out to provide that service. Wouldn’t make business sense.
And FYI, I think you might want to consider if you have some paranoia issues if you honestly think folks are gonna mug you over a window AC or some old phones.
OP’s name is fearless but is afraid to sell on fb marketplace. Just do your research on the buyer I’ve met up with probably 40 people and never had an issue. Just meet in a public setting and if you’re that worried meet at the police station. Just list it for 20 and you’ll find more serious buyers and then you can sell it for 20 or 15
Costco does this.
