You can bring up to three qualified items per day to the Customer Service counter for free recycling.

While Best Buy generally accepts the entire UPS unit , they often have strict rules against accepting loose batteries or those that are leaking or damaged ("spicy pillows").

Best Buy has recycled over 2.7 billion pounds of e-waste since 2009, ensuring hazardous materials like lead and acid from UPS units are handled by vetted partners rather than ending up in landfills.

Best Buy frequently offers "Recycle and Save" promotions. For example, bringing in any old battery backup for recycling can earn you a 10% to 20% discount coupon toward a new APC or CyberPower unit.
