Your Electronics Trash Is Best Buy's Treasure - JR Raphael, E-Commerce Times
Best Buy will take some of your electronics garbage off your hands for free if you happen to live near one of the stores in Baltimore, San Francisco or Minnesota that are kicking off the trial program. The initiative aims to keep toxic materials out of the environment while putting valuable materials to good reuse. Electronics retail giant Best Buy has announced plans to try out a free electronics recycling program at 117 of its stores. The initiative will start in three cities and could spread to others if it succeeds. Best Buy is launching its new program in Baltimore, San Francisco, and Minnesota, with up to two items a day accepted at no charge. The stores will take televisions and monitors up to 32 inches, computers, phones, and cameras. Monitors larger than 32 inches, console TVs, microwaves, air conditioners, and other appliances will not be accepted.
