They accept appliances less than 12 years old, including: washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, microwave ovens, gas and electric ranges, and freezers. Appliances must be in perfect working condition and have all necessary parts. Please call ahead regarding appliances older than 12 years old that are in exceptional condition. EPA regulations prevent the resale of water heaters and dishwashers that are not certified lead-free.

Best Buy will haul away these major appliances from your home for $19.99 when a replacement product is delivered by Geek Squad® or Best Buy Home Delivery. Then they will make sure it is properly and safely recycled. Any dishwasher must be disconnected prior to appliance delivery (unless you’ve also purchased new dishwasher installation) or it will not be eligible for haul-away. A $19.99 service fee will be charged for each appliance that is relocated within the delivery address. Stand-alone pickup without a qualifying appliance purchase is $99.99. The units are responsibly recycled by licensed, third-party recycling partners. The recyclers ensure that the various commodities are sent to end markets to be recycled and repurposed into new products.

Freecycle

The Freecycle Network™ is made up of 5,319 groups with 9,150,870 members around the world, and next door to you. It’s a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns and neighborhoods. It’s all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills. Each local group is moderated by local volunteers (them’s good people). More information here.
