does anyone know if the recycle fee is reported as income by the recycle company???
I participated last year and it looked like an all-cash transaction...no receipts, no records.

BestBuy recycles electronics as well. They charged me a $10 fee for a large TV and gave me a $10 gift card to use in the store. Heck of a deal!

The last time I had to get rid of a computer, which was not terribly long ago, I called the city and was told it could go out to the curb with the trash.
So why would I pay $10?
Has this policy changed?

Computer monitors are now FREE to recycle at Best Buy (they used to charge.)

Computer tubes? REALLY? I guess that means the internet really is a series of tubes.
