No longer completely free. They charged me $25 to take an old 15 inch

Neighbor said he had taken a huge CRT along with some other stuff to the
dump in his pick-up and they only charged him $25 for the lot.
He said they did separate recyclables but TV's just went into the
general trash pile.

I understand that some states impose a a fee for recycling/dumping CRT
devices, but others do not. e.g., MI does, IN does not (so I was told
this week).

These things apparently vary locally. Best Buy was touting they take
all electronic equipment but snuck in charge for some. I know they will
take printers free and maybe even give a 15% rebate for an HP.
I don't like surprises. I had taken 4 much larger CRT TV's there in the
past for no charge and did not suspect a charge on this small item.
I had bought 4 flat screen TV's at Best Buy but they were not connected
to me dropping off my old ones.

Did not mention but they had consolidated two much closer stores to a
larger one in a new addition to a large mall here. I hate going to that
mall because of heavy traffic and labyrinth of exits onto interstates.
If I buy anything else from them, it will be on line where they might be
competitive with free shipping. My wife is also dropping her computer
Geek squad policy because of their move to the mall.
