Some Best Buy Stores to Accept Electronics

Best Buy announced Monday a test program that allows consumers to drop off electronics to be recycled free of charge.

The program is available in 117 stores across the country. Consumers may bring in televisions, cameras, computers and electronics regardless if they were originally purchased at Best Buy. The stores ask that only two items per household are brought in each day.

Some items are not accepted, such as television and monitor screens greater than 32 inches, console televisions and microwaves. Visit the program’s site for more information about what can be dropped off.

For small items such as ink cartridges, rechargeable batteries, cell phones, CDs, DVDs and PDA/smart phones, recycling kiosks are located in the front of all Best Buy stores. The company has a trade-in program where gift certificates are given for gently-used electronics.

For local listings of electronic drop offs in your neighborhood, use Earth 911’s recycling locator.
