Got old technology you want to pitch but don’t want to see it wind up in a landfill?

Electronics retailer Best Buy is with you on that, which is why the company will have a recycling drive this week at its South County store, 7017 South Lindbergh Boulevard.

The recycling drive is free of charge and goes on from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

All kinds of gadgets, no matter their condition, will be accepted for collection: televisions, decrepit VCRs, computer monitors, assorted telephones, CPUs, printers and printer-ink cartridges, rechargeable batteries, stereo equipment, as well as computers and assorted computer peripheral devices.

Some things won’t be accepted, however, such as microwaves and other large home appliances, smoke detectors and regular alkaline batteries.

Just bring your discards to the front of the store; there will be Dumpsters placed outside where you can drop stuff off. The first 100 people to show up will receive a $5 Best Buy gift card.

Ideally, this drive makes the blue-and-yellow Best Buy name look more green. More to the point, though, the drive offers the chain a chance to pitch its inventory of digital TVs in the few months remaining before the huge digitial conversion of TV signals in February.

For that, Game Guy would like to see Best Buy offer a little more than just $5.
