Looking to buy some flowers for Mother’s Day? You can receive a 15 percent discount on 1-800-FLOWERS.COM purchases by recycling an electronic device at the company’s Long Island headquarters on June 4.

Bring in a computer, monitor, keyboard, DVD player or VCR to One Old Country Road in Carle Place, New York) from 8:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. All products will be recycled by e-Scrap Destruction.

1-800-FLOWERS.COM plans to roll out the program nationally, but there is no word yet on when recycling will be available at future locations.

For those not in the New York area, find out where to recycle electronics near you using Earth 911’s recycling locator.
