It shows best buys commitment to the environment as electronics are very hard to recycle... 32 bithers 2009-05-11 00:21:17 UTC 0 false 12 12 2009-05-11 05:06:44 UTC 7 This should help: http://www.bbycommunications.com/crnew/recycling.asp 2 jefflin 2009-05-06 20:39:03 UTC 12 true 15 12 2009-05-12 14:31:22 UTC 3 Big recycling events are great, but also, the store should accept items for recycling any time. 55 Paul 2009-05-12 14:04:42 UTC 1 false 17 12 2009-05-12 15:14:32 UTC 7 You can recycle everyday at your local best buy just make sure it follows these guidelines. 8 Kyle Pierce 2009-05-09 01:55:15 UTC 1 false 167 12 2009-06-16 09:37:02 UTC 3 The general public does not know well enough what to do with old electronics, especially computers. BBY is well positioned to improve brand by addressing this holistically. This is a huge global issue and BBY would do very well to demonstrate solutions to target markets 256 cmclaren 2009-06-16 09:34:26 UTC 0 false 204 12 2009-06-23 14:45:58 UTC 1 Events are expensive to do and open us up to risk--in case non-reputable recyclers offer a great "deal". Our everyday recycling options are currently unmatched by anyone. The electronics recycling we do (customer is limited to 2 items per household per day) does have a cost that Best Buy is paying, but it is a win for customers and a way we make a difference. Check out all the options at www.bestbuy.com/recycling 274 smmach 2009-06-23 14:35:20 UTC 0 false 592 12 2009-08-06 20:34:19 UTC 5 best buy does recycle electronics, call your local best buy for details, mine (store 252 in Scottsdale, AZ does) as well as other stores, for anything that has a screen (tv, monitor, etc) there is a $10 dollar charge but you get a $10 dollar gift card back, and with pc's we do that as well, if you need the hard drive wiped out (it has to be wiped out) geek squad can do it for you for $19.99 (no refund) then recycle it. 800 jtaylor80 2009-08-06 20:21:31 UTC 0 false 947 12 2009-09-04 01:46:39 UTC 4 I really feel this could thrive, Best Buy could create a kiosk just for recycling ink cartridges, paper and random electronic and office stuff at least if those products are small meaning the maximum in length, width, height is 7". I would really make this kiosk more attractive as well as located in a see-able and convienient location. 1080 AWWang 2009-09-03 21:43:07 UTC 2 false 1336 12 2009-10-10 05:56:23 UTC 16 i checked this out http://www.bbycommunications.com/crnew/recycling.asp this is all great but obviously it needs to better known and instore boxes/kiosks just for recycling random things will do the trick to make it common knowledge that the company is making efforts 840 BBY01-960 2009-08-12 04:54:02 UTC 70 false 2447 12 2009-12-14 00:15:56 UTC 1 I like the idea of recycling but the thing that really annoys me is that there is no 'charge' for plastic bags (re: Ikea), and more importantly, there is no way for me to dump all of the recyclable items (plastic cases, etc etc) that I get at the store on my way out of the door. It would be nice if Best Buy took at least a few steps to help customers with at least some minimal effort in this area at the store. 1656 whurley 2009-12-13 23:41:21 UTC 58 false 2740 12 2010-02-07 06:45:25 UTC 0 bestbuy should have free recycling of all electronics at all stores 2009 University of Pi 2010-02-07 06:19:34 UTC 60 false 2804 12 2010-02-18 22:10:30 UTC 1 yes!
