Right to Repair should be the Obligation to Repair, if we want to avoid drowning in trashed electronics

    I’ll have to check that out, I assume it’s for a fee? Thanks.

        It looks like they’ll take certain items free, while others (like non-Best Buy branded televisions) you have to pay them to recycle. In California there’s no charge for store drop-off; I imagine because they have a dedicated e-waste recycling fee.

            Yeah, I only looked it up because I remembered being charged for dropping off a broken TV at a Texas location.

      They’ll take. most of the stuff they take, for free: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/services/recycling/pcmcat149900050025.c?id=pcmcat149900050025

      Staples also has a good recycling program: https://www.staples.com/stores/recycling
