    Best Buy Takes Recycling Program Nationwide

    This is good news.

    Best Buy Takes Recycling Program Nationwide

    I live in a county that offers no electronic recycling but I have 2 bestbuys nearby. I hope all of you will make sure your tech stuff ends up somewhere other than the landfill.

    The program enables consumers to bring in up to two consumer electronics items per day for recycling at any Best Buy location. Best Buy will charge $10 for recycling items with screens (like televisions, monitors, and laptop displays, but customers immediately get a $10 Best Buy gift card when they pay the recycling fee.

    I had a whole mess of ancient hard drives, motherboards, etc I had to get rid of last year. Best Buy wouldn't take them, and neither would anyone else in town that I could find. So against my own conscience, I ended up throwing them away. I guess they would take that stuff now?

    The way I read it is that everything is free but monitors, since they have some really nasty stuff in them probably.

    BestBuy did a recycle day in Washington DC a while back and I took a good part of a pickup truck load of everything TVs/Monitors/CPUs that I had gotten out of my Apt. complex dumpster. I had saved them up till I could figure out how to get them recycled so they didn't end up in the landfill. And it was all free.
