Best Buy has announced it will begin charging for TVs and computer monitors customers bring into the company's stores for recycling. The changes, which end the retailer's long-running free recycling services for TVs and computer monitors, were explained in a blog post by Laura Bishop, the company's vice-president of public affairs and sustainability. "E-waste volume is rising, commodity prices are falling and global outlets for recycled glass, a key component of TVs and monitors, have dramatically declined," Bishop wrote. "While providing recycling solutions for our customers is a priority, Best Buy should not be the sole e-cycling provider in any given area, nor should we assume the entire cost."
