Electronics Recycling

Every year Americans add tons of broken or outdated appliances to our landfills. But it doesn't have to be that way. Most major electronics retailers offer free or nearly free recycling programs.

No matter where you bought it, what brand it is, or how old it is, bring it to Best Buy and they'll make sure it's safely recycled. It's all part of their Greener Together™ program.

  • CDs
  • DVDs
  • cell phones
  • ink-jet cartridges
  • DVD players
  • computers
  • televisions
  • and more

Just drop them into the free kiosks located at all U.S. based stores.

Office Depot will recycle ink or toner cartridges and cell phones at no charge. Larger items will require the purchase of a recycling box ($5 to $15) which you can then leave at the store to take care of.

Radio Shack has a very cool program. Trade in your unwanted small electronics and they'll give you a gift card based on the value of the items you're turning in.

Staples will give you store credit in exchange for your empty ink or toner cartridges. You can also turn in your cell phones and any Dell products at no charge. You'll pay $10 per piece to recycle non-Dell items.
