I have old phones and electronics that are no use to use so I usually recycle them to a local Best Buy. We still kept our old vintage Nintendo, vintage Polaroid Camera & some working phones for emergencies. I have never trashed out anything that could harm the environment, so we recycle most of the time. We have separate trash cans, one for recycling plastic/bottles and one for just trash.
With modern technology around us, we are always upgrading our phones and computers every-time a new phone comes out. People tend to upgrade and lay the old electronics around the house. I have seen people throw cords, batteries and old phones in regular trash to save a trip to a recycling station and that is no good for the future of our children. If you have old phones or non-working electronics, do not throw them in the trash, recycle them for free at Best Buy in the US and Puerto Rico. Best Buy recycles 387 pounds of electronics each minute our stores are open. No matter where you bought or how old it is, Best Buy will recycle it for you.

I actually had no clue that Best Buy did this. It’s good to know though so I can keep them in mind when getting rid of electronics.

I didn’t know Best Buy did this either! I have an entire draw full of old phones because I didn’t know what to do with them. I’ll be taking them in the next time I head to Best Buy. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve seen this at Best Buy and always wondered about it, now that we are soon moving I have been de-cluttering our home and noticed I have lots of phones I do not use anymore that can be donated to the recycling program! Perfect timing 😀
