Best Buy will take just about anything electronic, including TVs, DVD players, computer monitors, audio and video cables, cell phones, and more.Most things are recycled absolutely free, with a few restrictions. Regardless of where you bought it, what brand it is, or how old it is: bring it to them. They will make sure it's properly and safely recycled.
"This is awesome! No reason to keep piles of old technology in the corner of your office or basement. They even have in-store kiosks for disposing inkjet cartridges, rechargeable batteries, and CDs/DVDs," Melanie Dennis, Neat Streak Professional Organizing. She's the fabulous organizer who brought this program to my attention to share with you.
Since I straddle the Michigan and Ohio borders, here's some of those program details. Go to the Best Buy Recycling website for your state's program.
Program details for Ohio:
- Three items per household per day.
- Nearly everything electronic, including tube TVs and monitors up to 32", flat-panel TVs and monitors up to 60", peripherals, DVD players, home and car audio, cell phones, MP3 players, and cables.
- Desktop or laptop computers with the hard drive removed. See this Geek Squad video for Do-it-Yourself instructions, or we will remove it for $9.99.
- Small electrics, fans and vacuums.
- We charge $10 for televisions and monitors, but you immediately receive a $10 Best Buy gift card good toward future purchase. (SWEET!)
