You know you should recycle your old computer, cellphone, or camera. But it can be such a pain trying to find a local non-profit, government, or company that lets you drop off used electronics for recycling. And once you find a location, it might be halfway across the state.

But everybody lives near a Best Buy, right? Well, if you happen to live near one of 117 stores in the Baltimore, San Francisco, and Minnesota areas, Best Buy is launching a new program that lets people drop off used electronics for recycling.

Here's a list of items the participating locations will accept:

• Television and computer monitors 32 inches or smaller
• Computers
• Phones
• Cameras
• Other small electronic devices and peripherals

Best Buy will not take TVs or monitors larger than 32 inches, air conditioners, or appliances, although you can pay $100 to have Best Buy pick up your larger television or appliances. Each store nationwide also has a recycling kiosk for ink cartridges, rechargeable batteries, cell phones, PDAs, and CDs or DVDs.

There's no word on if and when the company will expand this program nationwide, but this limited program has pilot project written all over it.
