Trade-in Program #3

For those of us with a hoard of out-of-date electronics which is not going to attract a decent trade-in allowance, and if you're based in the US, try Best Buy's US-wide recycling program which is being launched in two weeks time.

Starting on 15th February, consumers will be able to take up to two units per day per household to any Best Buy store in the US. They will be charged a $10 recycling fee for products with a screen, but for other products, it would seem that it's fee-free. In exchange for these unwanted products they will receive a $10 Best Buy gift card straight away.

Best Buy already operates recycling kiosks for used toner and ink cartridges and other types of consumable. It also offers a 'haul away' service for old TVs when when replaced with new one installed by Best Buy's Geek Squad or home delivery facility.
