Best Buy is teaming up with nine stores in Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto to help collect and recycle the several pounds of electronic waste that are accumulated in Canadian homes each year. Local residents are encouraged to drop off their used or unwanted personal electronics for free and safe recycling at one of the participating stores for Best Buy’s Tech it Away event. Everyone who drops off electronics to be recycled at any of the participating store locations will be entered for a chance to win a $1,000 Best Buy gift card. One gift card is available to be won at each of the nine stores.

A variety of electronics will be accepted at the event, which runs on Saturday, May 26 from noon until 5 p.m. Accepted products include:
