There’s nothing like a move to get you sorting through old electronics. Thankfully, both Best Buy and Office Depot were on hand for us this weekend to help out with the necessary recycling. I remembered the Office Depot program where they sell boxes to be filled with electronic waste, but it was my hubby who rediscovered the fact that Best Buy recycles larger TV sets. We had three, count’em three TVs to get rid of, along with a mess of other old gadgets. The two big TVs went to Best Buy for $20, and in exchange we got two $10 gift cards to spend on our next Best Buy trip. Everything else went in two large Office Depot boxes at $15 each. It was well worth the money.
Take a look at a few of the photos. That’s a very old Sharp Wizard mobile organizer you see there, with pics below of a T-Mobile Dash, a Nokia candy bar phone, and more.
Wow that’s neat to know. I didn’t think Best Buy did that. Filing that tidbit of information for the future :-)
Best Buy takes most electronics for free. I’ve dropped a few battery backups (UPS) there for no charge.
The rest of my old stuff that still works I try to sell online. :-)
The best buy deal is pretty good if you have to get rid of a tv or monitor.
No need to pay someone to take your other junk, there are plenty of places that will take it for free:

Our electric company is buying old fridges for $50 and portable/window AC units for $25.
It just has to be ‘working’. Just signed up for them to pick up my old stuff that I have sitting in my garage.
Not the Toshiba TiVo!
