Best Buy Stores

According to a national ad, all Best Buy stores will accept most electronic products at no charge, up to two items per day per household, and will recycle them responsibly. Items they will not accept are internal and external hard drives, TVs or monitors greater than 32 inches, console TVs,  air conditioners, microwaves, dehumidifiers, mini-fridges or major appliances.  Your editor called one of the Best Buy stores in Wichita--at 6910 W. Kellogg-- and learned that they conform to the ad in the paper; also they confirmed that the store at 2111 N. Rock Rd. does the same.
(Best Buy ad, August 9, 2009)
