Best Buy is testing an electronics recycling program in 117 stores, according to the company. The program launched June 1, with stores in the Baltimore, San Francisco, and Minnesota markets. Customers can bring in up to two electronic devices per day, per household, for recycling at no charge.
Items that may be recycled include televisions and monitors up to 32 inches, computers, phones, cameras and other peripherals. Items that won"t be accepted are televisions or monitors greater than 32 inches, console televisions, air conditioners, microwave ovens and appliances. Best Buy has a separate haul-away program for appliances, according to the Minneapolis-based company. Best Buy said it will evaluate the success of the program and then determine whether it will be rolled out to other markets and stores.
