Apple isn’t offering a trade-in value for an iPhone 8, though they will recycle it. A third-party sale might offer some.
If you do decide to upgrade, iPhone 11 and later, and iPhone SE 2nd and later, Duo, and Air, can all run current iOS.

The iPhone 8, released by Apple in 2017, cannot use an iOS version greater than 16.X.

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗
Open Settings ➢ General ➢ Software Update.
If you get the message; "iOS is up to date", then your iPhone has reached the end-of-life support for Software Updates to the latest iOS operating system, depriving you of new features created many years ago.
Many modern apps are not compatible, limiting the usability of your device.
You are invited to visit an Apple retail store to discuss your iPhone upgrade options.

Since your iPhone 8 is too old for a trade-in, the only option is to recycle it for free. ♻️
Good luck! 👋🏼😉
