  1. 1.Laptops, computers, cables and other listed small electronics can fit Staples’ recycling program.
  2. 2.Printers and eligible monitors may be accepted, but do not assume they are free; the current service list controls fees and local exceptions.
  3. 3.Televisions, microwaves and other kitchen electronics except qualifying coffee brewers are excluded. Floor-standing copiers are also excluded.

A store can refuse equipment that is unsafe or unsuitable. Check the current list for the exact item, size and location before transporting it.
