According to a report from the Consumerist, Best Buy is no longer accepting computers for recycling at its stores. The report says that the company stopped accepting computers on February 28th, and that a Best Buy representative confirmed the change when contacted by the Consumerist. It’s not clear why Best Buy has stopped accepting computers for recycling, but the company may be planning to change its electronics recycling program in the future.
This is a disappointing development, as Best Buy has been a leader in electronic recycling. The company has offered free electronic recycling at its stores for many years, and it even launched a program to recycle old TVs in 2013. If Best Buy has indeed stopped taking computers for recycling, it will be a blow to those who rely on the company’s program.
Conclusion:
Best Buy’s decision to stop taking computers for recycling is disappointing, but it’s not clear why the company has made this change. It’s possible that Best Buy is planning to change its electronics recycling program in the future, so we’ll have to wait and see what the company does next.
