Electronics Retailers Recycling Programs

There are a few national electronics retailers that have recycling and/or reuse programs available in their stores for the general public to use. These local programs will help us reduce the amount of e-waste sent to our landfills. E-waste is a term meaning electronic equipment and products we no longer want, need or that have become obsolete.

As a reminder, not all store managers will follow the corporate recycling policies, for various reasons, so always call your local store to confirm their participation and specifics of their program.

Best Buy — Best Buy will take basically all your old electronics items for free plus they take TVs and monitors up to 32" for a $10 fee. They do give you a $10 gift card to use in their store to negate the fee charged. Go here for their electronics recycling guidelines. Every U.S. Best Buy store has free kiosks (drop boxes) for you to drop off inkjet cartridges, batteries, cell phones, CDs/DVDs, PDAs and smartphones for recycling.
