Recycling Electronic Items
May 27, 2009Looking for a place to recycle broken or unusable electronic items like computers, TVs, or printers that your municipal recycling program currently does not accept? Best Buy has started a national recycling program with most stores participating. They charge $10 for computers and TVs (up to 32”) but give you a $10 gift card in return. All other items (e.g. printers, cartridges) they accept for free. In all cases you are limited to bringing in two items per store visit. Note that for computers they require that the hard drive be removed. More details about the Best Buy program can be found here.
For old electronic items that are still in working order, try selling them on Gazelle.com. Additionally computers can be donated to National Christina Foundation and cell phones to CallToProtect.
