Best Buy Fails at Recycling What They Sell
I am only writing this review on Trustpilot because you cannot give any feedback to Best Buy about their recycling program. Which sucks. This company sells millions of devices with lithium-ion batteries but they no longer recycle them. It is egregious behavior. I like BB as a place to buy my electronics and I have had good experiences with them doing so, but not taking the responsibility of recycling what they sell is beyond the pale. You are not supposed to dispose of lithium-ion batteries in regular garbage but when it becomes too difficult to do the right thing, humans will take the path of least resistance. I was even told by a BB employee that common alkaline batteries need to be individually bagged to be accepted by Best Buy now! WTF? (You can actually tape the ends of these batteries to prevent any sparking or combustible mishaps - you can also throw them in the regular trash but that still feels wrong.)
