everything from laptops to washing machines

Haul-Away and recycling service
Starting this month, Best Buy, the nation’s largest retail
collector of e-waste, is making it easier than ever to get rid of
old tech while protecting the environment – by picking it up
directly from customers' homes. Once picked up, all products are
then responsibly and safely recycled.
Just a click away, anyone in the U.S. can now request pickup and
recycling for old electronics, keeping tech, including appliances,
out of landfills and giving it a second life. The Best Buy
Standalone Haul-Away service will remove and recycle up to two
large products (including TVs, major appliances, all-in-one
computers and monitors), along with select smaller products, like
laptops, cameras, cords, gaming consoles and more.
The new Standalone Haul-Away service is available for $199.99.

“We feel we have an important role to play in helping our
planet, including being there for the entire lifecycle of a product
– from the time a customer starts shopping until that product is
responsibly recycled,” said Tim Dunn, Best Buy’s head of
environmental sustainability. “This new service will make this
important work even more convenient for customers.”
As part of our continued commitment to protect the environment,
we have helped our customers recycle more than 2 billion pounds of
electronics and appliances since 2009. Our recycling program
accepts a variety of used electronics, regardless of where they
were purchased, how old they are or who made them. Customers can
schedule an appointment on BestBuy.com for all Haul-Away
services.
This new service is in addition to the Haul-Away service Best
Buy currently offers to customers when they purchase a new TV,
major appliance or select fitness equipment, and want to recycle
the product they’re replacing. Customer can also drop off up to
three electronics per household, per day at Best Buy stores through
our everyday recycling program, or take advantage of our trade-in
program, which provides gift cards for items that still have value.
More information on what items are accepted at your local store and
what fees might be associated, can be found here.
Doing a world of good
Sustainability has been at the core of what we do at Best Buy
for decades. We make decisions with the future in mind by
systematically managing and continually improving our environmental
performance.
From carbon reduction to e-waste recycling, we are proud of the
work we do to create a more sustainable world for our employees and
the communities we serve. Together, we know we can make a
difference and a lasting, positive impact on the planet.
