Best Buy Stores Accept E-Waste
It gets easier to recycle everyday. While checking out my local Best Buy I noticed a small kiosk for recycling. Good job. The kiosks take cell phones, batteries of all sizes and any brand of ink jet cartridges. Upon further investigation I found out if you want you can also hand over your old and unwanted stuff to the Geek Squad.
The Best Buy website claims that if you purchase and TV or large appliance and have it delivered that will tote the old one away for you. The assumption is they have it recycled but the site is not specific. But it should be noted that the company claims to have recycled 77 million pounds of appliances in 2007.
They also hold monthly E-Cycle events, but looking at the list it seems to be kind of hit and miss as far as dates and locations. I see no dates listed for this year in the Los Angeles area or the Valley.

About this blog
Roxanne Kotzman is a Daily News Photo Department veteran of nine years. When she and longtime friend Stacy Long
discovered their love all of all things environmentally responsible, they launched Happy Monkey Planet and jumped head-first into the vibrant eco-community.
Wow, so much to learn! But initially the idea is a pretty simple one: Let's change the world through information, education and action.
Rox & Stacy are a lot like you: ecologically minded but sometimes just plain overwhelmed when charged with the task of making a far-reaching difference in the environment. They have jobs, families, homes, lives and pets.
But what if doing better was a simple as a light-bulb change, a reusable canvas grocery bag, recycling that soda can or a cold-water wash?
These eco-chicks just hope to have a little fun, learn a little more, share a lot of information and maybe make the planet a happier, greener, cleaner place.
