•Recycling
events were all day Friday and Saturday in Best Buy parking lots (Duluth, MN
was the only exception –
the event was held off site at a nearby school about a mile from our store).
•Best
Buy program will accept almost any electronic item (computers, televisions,
VCRs and other electronic
equipment, etc.), of any age, from any manufacturer.
•The
fee was generally $10 per computer monitor; $15 per television
•Best
Buy arranged for local non profit groups to be at the collections to help
increase reuse. At 8 out
of 10 events in year 1, a non-profit group took items that could be reused,
refurbished them, and got
them back into the community so people who wouldn’t otherwise have access to technology would have items from the
events.
