It’s not right to throw it in a landfill. Yesterday we heard about <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Global-Promotions/Recycling-Electronics/pcmcat149900050025.c?id=pcmcat149900050025">Best Buy’s electronic recycling program</a>. I know what you’re thinking: wtf? Best Buy is useful?</p> <p>I highly recommend it. Box up your crap, take it to Best Buy today. It feels great.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> </channel> </rss>
