Q&A: Recycling Responsibly at Any Time I try to recycle my old computers and electronics responsibly, but my town only has e-waste disposal days every so often. Where else I can take stuff? The Environmental Protection Agency's Web site has links to several national electronics-recycling programs, but if you live near a Best Buy or a Staples outlet, you can usually drop off old equipment for responsible recycling right at the store. Best Buy has information on what it accepts here and Staples outlines its free service here. Some computer makers have take-back programs of their own where you can mail or drop off old gear for recycling. These include Dell (which works with 2,000 Goodwill Stores and has a mail-in service, as described on the company's site) and HP. Apple usually accepts old Macs, PCs and iOS devices and will sometimes convert the value of the item into an Apple Gift Card. Companies like Gazelle and Amazon have trade-in services for old equipment that may still have resale potential.
