I think most people expected to receive more from Best Buy. I know I did.

I think the article reads that you have already paid the $5.00 when you bought the computer not that you will get charged $5.00 upon taking the computer to the Best Buy on Friday - silly peoples.

The article even states that consumers get charged the $6-$10 fee. Why not get that back? It would cost me more than $5 in gas to drive to one of these Best Buys. I can make more money getting rid of my old computer and electronics from home. $5 – haha! The article even states that consumers get charged the $6-$10 fee. Why not get that back?

Typically, you get NOTHING for disposing of your e-waste. In fact, if you buy a computer or monitor in California, there's an extra charge for the e-waste fee. It's illegal, otherwise, to just toss an old PC or monitor into the trash. I've written extensively about why this exists and I'll add those links into the post above. A joke?
