Best Buy Launches Nationwide Recycle-by-Mail Technology Boxes

New service makes electronic recycling easy and convenient for customers; ship everything from laptops, cords, tablets and more

As the nation’s largest retail collector of e-waste, Best Buy has recycled 2.7 billion pounds of electronics and appliances

Recycling your old electronics is about to become easier than ever. Best Buy is introducing a new nationwide, easy-to-use program that allows you to recycle all your old tech - by mail!

Starting this month, you can order a prepaid Best Buy Technology Recycling Box and ship off your old electronics for recycling. Through the service, we will give your tech a second life or recycle it responsibly to protect the environment.

“We continue to build on our commitment to be there for our customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their products by making recycling simple and convenient,” said Tim Dunn, Best Buy’s head of environmental sustainability. “Sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do and this new service is another step we are taking to protect the planet today and for future generations.”

To continue supporting our goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2040, the Best Buy Technology Recycling Box will also be a carbon neutral service.

Here’s how it works in three easy steps.

Step 1: Order a prepaid box from BestBuy.com. You can choose from two options. A small box (9 X 5 X 3 - $22.99), which can carry up to 6 lbs, or a medium box (18 X 14 X 4 - $29.99), which can carry up to 15 lbs.

Step 2: The box arrives at your home, and you fill it up with old gadgets lying around the house, whether that’s a tablet, cords, keyboards or more. See the full list of products we recycle here.

Step 3: You ship the prepaid box by taking it to your nearest UPS drop-off location or scheduling a pickup with UPS.

You’re done! Your electronics are securely and responsibly recycled.
