So far yours is about the only answer that's been useful. I remember some of those stores having points to dispose of them, but the last time I was in the Homeless Despot, they no longer had anywhere to do that. That may just be the local store, however. Not sure there's a Best Buy around here anymore, will have to see where the nearest one is.
looks like your 'best' bet if you can find one local.
I was actually just there this week and didn't notice any drop boxes, but I wasn't looking either. They always have staff at the front door, I'm sure they can help you.
*edit
Customers can get rid of their old or unwanted appliances and electronics in several ways:
Recycling kiosks — Every U.S. Best Buy store has kiosks, just inside the front doors, to drop off rechargeable batteries, wires, cords, cables and plastic bags.
But that means I have to go to Best Buy. Oh well, I guess we all need to do things that are distasteful once in a while.
Haha.. Best Buy is alright in my book. Better than Amazon, that's for sure!
Serious questions demand serious answers.
Also for some of these places you might have to talk to the customer service desk, I don't know why they did it but some places put the bins behind employee only areas now. Good luck, and if you can't find anything you can also check out your local city/county recycling center (Like the normal recycling centers that take cans/cardboard) and see if they might have a bin for electronics.
The only county recycling place we have here is in a part of town that a white person does not go to, and it's open exactly a few hours a week. So that's probably out.
I'll check at stores I go to and see what they offer. Used to just chuck them in the recycle bin at my job, but I don't work there anymore.
