Virginia’s Computer Recovery and Recycling Act

In 2008, the state of Virginia passed into law the Computer Recovery and Recycling Act. The law requires manufacturers of certain electronics devices to finance a program that provides Virginia households a reasonably convenient system of collection and recycling opportunities for certain electronic devices.

Through our recycling programs Best Buy collected for recycling over 163,000 pounds of computer equipment in the state of Virginia from July 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009.
