 CHARLOTTE, N.C. —  As the weather improves, cleaning up and clearing out becomes top-of-mind for many Americans.  It’s this time of year, with Earth Day recently passed, that families do spring cleaning, often finding electronics they no longer need.  Many of us wonder what we”re supposed to do with the old electronic “junk” that’s become part of everyday life.  With technology the fastest growing waste stream on the planet, people just don’t realize there is someone close by who will take their electronics and recycle them for free.

     I spoke with Scott Weislow, Director of Recycling and Waste Management at Best Buy to find out the best ways to recycle electronic products.
