🎮 Game Over for Old Electronics? Not Quite! ♻️

Remember that game console you upgraded years ago? The controller with the missing buttons? The charging cables that don't work?

Instead of letting your old gaming gear take up space, consider recycling it through Best Buy's recycling program.

From consoles and controllers to cables and other electronics, recycling these items keeps them out of the landfill and clears up clutter from your home.

For accepted items, program details, and any restrictions that may apply, visit Best Buy's recycling page:

Up next... Cameras, Camcorders, and Drones (oh my!) 📹

Binoculars not as sharp as they once were? Drones not flying as high as they used to? Maybe that old camcorder hasn't been used in years?

Not to worry! Instead of tossing your old items in the trash, consider recycling them responsibly.

Best Buy accepts these items and more through their recycling program, helping keep potentially harmful materials out of the landfills and giving old tech a more sustainable end-of-life solution. ♻️

Before heading to the store, be sure to check out Best Buy's website for more information on accepted items and any limitations that may apply. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/services/recycling/pcmcat149900050025.c?id=pcmcat149900050025/

Spring cleaning underway? Making space for new summer clothes?

Before you toss or recycle your old clothing, here’s a quick reminder:
⚠️ Clothes cannot be recycled and should not go in your curbside recycling bin or dropped off at Tri-State Resource Recovery.
