Electronics Recycling What is the date that Best Buy is taking in electronics to be recycled? Is the store in Brainerd, Minnesota participating? Thanks

Staple or Best Buy stores if there is no "e-Steward" recycler near you. Most of these stores has a free electronics recycling program that works with an e-Steward recycler.

Hello, Rosemary -

Apparently something in the microwave shorted out. You don't state the make and model of the microwave. There may be some kitchen appliance repair place in your area where you can take it to be looked at and _possibly_ repaired. However, it may be quicker, and more cost effective, to purchase a new microwave and have your old microwave recycled properly.

Note: These days many municipalities or counties have electronics recycling centers or specially identified days for residents to bring old and "dead" electronics for proper recycling. This is the Earth911.com web page you can use to find a place to recycle electronics near you (in the USA): https://search.earth911.com/?utm_source=earth911-header&utm_medium=top-navigation-menu&utm_campaign=top-nav-recycle-search-button .

Highly unlikely, with the cost of a replacement keyboard being as low as $24.99 there is not much demand for repair parts.

If I were you, I would go to the local electronics recycle depot and see if I can find one there from a broken keyboard.

You should take this Clock/Radio back for a refund or exchange. If that is not possible, try taking the battery out and unplug the Clock/Radio. Leave it set for at least an hour with no power. This will let the microprocessor discharge and reset itself. You also need to replace the battery. It is a CR2430. You can find them in most large electronic stores, large drugstores and supermarkets. Fry's electronics and Radio shack carry them. You can also buy them on line. After letting the Clock/Radio discharge for at least a hour, put the battery back in and plug it in. The functions should return to normal. If not you may have a more serious problem with the microprocessor. You can call Emerson customer support at this telephone number 1-800-898-9020 and ask them for help with the problem. I hope this information help you with your problem.

Greetings angelsj,

In some of our Best Buy™ stores, we do accept electronics for recycling. I believe the fee you are seeing is a state imposed fee that has nothing to do with the retail establishment. I have most often seen this in the California stores.

My suggestion would be to contact your local store and see if they are capable of accepting the unit.

I hope this helps!
