A $10 recycling fee will apply to any unit with screens, such as televisions and computers.  Customers instantly will receive a $10 Best Buy gift card in exchange for the recycling fee.  The fee does not apply for any of Best Buy's exclusive-branded products, such as Insignia, Dynex and VPR Matrix.  Appliances are not covered under the program.

Waste Management - WM's electronic recycling, or eCycling, allows residents to recycle outdated or unused electronic items such as televisions, DVD players, computers and video camera equipment.  Eagle Valley Landfill (600 Silver Bell Road West, Orion Township) will accept E-waste during its normal hours of operation, Monday Friday 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Recycling is free for Sony, LG Zenith and Goldstar products, as these manufacturers have agreed to implement free "take-back" programs for the electronics they produce.  All other electronic items will be charged a recycling and reprocessing fee ranging from $15-$50 per item based on the type of item and its size.
To recycle unwanted electronics, residents simply load the materials in their vehicle and take it to Eagle Valley.  Facility staff will charge the appropriate fee for the materials to be recycled, and accept for free the Sony, LG, Zenith and Goldstar products.
**E-cycling is available for local residential electronics.  Commercial or industrial customers will need to contact Waste Management at 800-796-9696 for assistance managing larger volumes of electronics.

Samsung - Samsung's Recycling Direct program is available at more than 170 U.S. locations.  Its partnership with Walmart also allows for Durabrand and Ilo electronic products to be recycled at Samsung's Recycling Direct locations.  http://pages.samsung.com/us/recyclingdirect/
