Sony Recycling Program Sony now takes back products it makes. Gather up all those dead clock radios, Walkmans, CD players, stereos, boom boxes, cameras, computers, and phones. They don’t have very many drop off locations in the U.S. as of yet and say they will have a mailing option soon. “At Sony, we support the recycling of our products with the same respect we have when creating them. Teaming up with Waste Management, we’ve built a recycling program that makes it easy to dispose of electronics in an environmentally-safe way. Bring your unwanted Sony product to any participating Waste Management eCycling drop-off center and recycle it for free.”
