I’ve had a pile of electronics sitting around the house for a couple years now (2 old desktops, 4 CRT monitors, various speakers, cell phones, and a 47″ projection TV) that need recycling and I’ve found that there are not too many places around that make this easy for you, or that they are too expensive. I saw this recently and it’s so wildly inexpensive (free for most things, $10 a piece for monitors and you get a $10 gift card back) I thought I’d give the monkeys in the blue shirts a go.

I went in with 2 monitors and walked out in 5 minutes with 2 $10 gift cards to replace my $20. No personal information, no bullshit at customer service (or perhaps their bullshitting tactics have advanced to such a level that I can no longer detect them). The only time I knew I was at bestbuy was when an employee gave me the double-finger-snap-and-point-with-both-hands-like-a-gun and asked “Are you all set there chief?”
NOTE: they don’t do TV’s so I’ve still got to save room in the garage, but this is still excellent
