Feb 9 - Retail Electronics Giant Best Buy Touts E-waste Takeback
Mega electronics retailer Best Buy used the eve of the implementation of California’s e-waste disposal ban to announce plans to step up e-waste takeback and recycling options across the country. The nation’s largest electronics retailer will provide recycling kiosks at the entrance to each of their 930 retail stores across the country, where consumers can drop off rechargeable batteries, cell phones and ink jet cartridges for recycling.
CAW will be sponsoring a package of new e-waste recycling legislation to be introduced later this month aimed at expanding free and convenient recycling opportunities for a spectrum of consumer electronics.
