A CVC staffer was dropping off some old electronics for recycling at BestBuy, and while they were there, they asked for clarification on what other electronics the store will take. Many electronics they will take back for free--old laptops, ear buds, and cell phones were what we dropped off. They will also take televisions smaller than 50" for a small fee of $30, but if you bring two, they can only be 42" or smaller and the fee is more. They cannot take televisions larger than 50", and no loose batteries.
