Did you know that you can recycle your old electronics at Best Buy? I didn’t until now. That’s really going to help me in an upcoming move, especially to clean out the garage. I have had an old tv sitting there for way too long. We also have an old non-working PC that needs to be transformed into something useful. In the video below, I learned how Best Buy recycles PC’s and also how special care is taken to ensure data privacy. Very cool!
What’s more, their industry-leading recycling efforts are available for free in every Best Buy in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. No matter how old it is, no matter where you bought it, Best Buy will recycle it. They recycle 387 pounds of electronics each minute their stores are open and they do it safely and responsibly.
Technology is the fastest growing waste stream on the planet, which is not surprising to me, considering how quickly new tech evolves.
You can learn more about Best Buy’s Recycling Program here.
Also, Best Buy carries a whole line of Energy Star certified products so you can recycle your old electronics and upgrade to more energy efficient ones. To learn more about this, just visit here.
I love companies that help keep our planet healthier and can’t wait to clear out my old “junk” that is just taking up space when it could be re-purposed.

I did not know that I could recycle old electronics at Best Buy. I have some stuff that I need to get rid of and I am going to take it there! Thanks so much for this information!

In our town the big garbage days stopped taking electronics now. The days to drop off are far but few for people. This is much more do-able. This stuff should not just be trashed as it has lots of value left in usable parts etc. Thanks for the info
