Mail-in recycling box

Mail-In Recycling Service

If you need to recycle electronics, but live far from a Best Buy store or can’t drive to one, we’ve got a great option for you. Simply purchase a recycling box below, fill it up with your electronics, and either take it to your local UPS store or schedule a UPS pickup at your home.*

Choose the box size that you need.

Small box dimensions: 9" x 5" x 3" Weight limit: Up to 6 lbs.
Medium box dimensions: 18" x 14" x 4" Weight limit: Up to 15 lbs.

Included in your box: Tape, prepaid UPS shipping label, instruction sheet

The included instruction sheet will have all the info you need to successfully fill up and send your box.

Once your electronics are received, our service partner will destroy any data, and the devices will be sustainably recycled.

Boxes will not be accepted at Best Buy stores. Once purchased, this product is non-returnable.

Best Buy recommends that all customers remove or wipe data from their device before submission. Customers are solely responsible for the removal or wiping of their data at their own discretion prior to shipping the device to be recycled.

Just four easy steps to recycle.

1
Order a small or medium mail-in recycling box.
2
Fill up your box to the weight limit with accepted electronics.
3
Seal your box and apply the prepaid UPS shipping label.
4
Take the box to your local UPS store or contact UPS for home pickup.*
