What does one do with old Apple products they can’t use or resell? Recycle them!

Apple offers a free, easy to use recycling program that could (possibly) score you an Apple Store gift card.

If you’re not using your old iPhone, iPad, battery or computer, or you’re simply looking for a new device, send your gadget back to the Apple Store; they’ll determine if your product is qualified for reuse or should be recycled.

Here’s how to recycle Apple Products:

• To begin the process, complete the computer reuse and recycling online form. This will help Apple determine if your old device has monetary value.
• Once your form is complete, Apple will send you a box (only for computer recycling) with a prepaid shipping label.
• After your device is received, Apple will send you an email and apply the predetermined monetary value to a gift card.
