  • Computers and accessories
  • Phones and cellular phones
  • Scanners, printers, fax machines and ink cartridges
  • Rechargeable batteries

The event will not be accepting any large appliances or microwaves, smoke detectors, air conditioners or single-use batteries.

The first 100 cars each day to bring an electronic device for recycling will receive a $5.00 Best Buy gift card. The store is located at 5395 S Wadsworth Blvd. in Lakewood.

Best Buy recycled more than 20 million pounds of electronic waste in 2007.
