•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.
