I am always looking for ways to be greener, and I am always looking for new ways to help save the earth. Recycling is one thing I am very passionate about, whether it’s clothes or electronics.

Recently my Dell laptop just died, and I didn’t want to just throw it away. So i started researching where i could recycle it or maybe trade it in. It has so many problems though that no one would probably take it. So i decided I would donate it to Best Buy.

Best Buy recycles 387 pounds of electronics each minute their stores are open. No matter where you bought it or how old it is, Best Buy will recycle your product.  Best Buy will responsibly and safely dispose of your electronics.

It was very simple to donate my used laptop, I just went in and dropped it off. They were very nice about it, as I had a few questions about what was going to happen to my laptop.   I was worried about my private info on the computer getting out, but they assured me that part of the process is removing and clearing the hard drive.  That made me feel very at ease about recycling it.

Technology is the fastest growing waste stream on the planet. As one of the world’s largest retailer of consumer electronics, They want to be part of the solution.  The recycling program is free at all Best Buy stores  in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

While your at Best Buy recycling your old products, why not look into upgrading to a new model of your recycled product.  Best Buy has the best and newest energy Star qualified products.
