[Hidden-tech] Battery recycling

[Jan Werner]

Best Buy takes back nearly all electronic products, whether or not they 
were bought from them. They have kiosks or bins in stores for things 
like rechargeable batteries and printer cartridges. For other things, 
there is a limit of 3 items a day. Monitors incur a $10 fee, but you get 
a $10 gift card back in return.

The main exception is hard drives, which they will not take at all and 
must be removed from any computers turned in.

The program varies slightly by state. You can get the full details at:
