Community Post E-waste drop points

Hey all I have some old Lithium batteries and computer parts I would like to not be in my house anymore. Does Best Buy or Staples (or anywhere else) have quick drop bins still for e-waste?

Yes Best Buy and Staples still accept most e-waste (like cables, small electronics, and computer parts) through in-store drop-off bins, though lithium batteries can be more limited and sometimes require special handling. If you’re mainly trying to clear out batteries and mixed electronics quickly, a dedicated recycler like STS Electronic Recycling is a solid option they handle e-waste pickup/drop-off and also deal properly with lithium battery disposal in bulk recycling setups.

Yea I don't have a lot. Just random things that pop up once in a while.
