Does Best Buy recycle old cables?

Yes. In the United States, Best Buy lists cables and connectors for free household in-store recycling. This is a residential recycling program, not an offer to buy wire or accept commercial construction scrap. Untangle cords, separate reusable adapters, and confirm current quantity limits with the store before bringing a large batch.

Prepare cables before you go

Untangle the cords and separate adapters that might still be reusable. If you have a large quantity, contact the specific Best Buy store first to confirm its current intake terms.

If you are deciding between recycling and resale, check which old electronic cables may have value before sorting the batch.
