Apple recycling offers cash for your old iPhone

Apple has launched its Reuse and Recycling program in the UK, giving Apple customers cash for their old iPhones, iPods, iPads, Macs and PCs.

So if you’re one of the many hoping to upgrade, or purchase a new Apple gadget, now looks like a better time than ever to get cash towards your next Apple purchase, and recycle at the same time.

To use Apple’s recycling service simply visit the Apple Computer Reuse and Recycling website and select which category of gadget you wish to recycle. Current categories include Desktop, iPad, iPhone and Notebook.

An option to select manufacturer will also let you recycle other branded notebooks. After choosing your category, and specifications of your device you will be asked a series of questions such as whether the device is able to boot up, and whether the device works properly. Eventually the program will assess and let users know whether their item can be recycled for a cash value.

As gadget recycling goes, the Apple Computer Reuse and Recycling Program is a nice little way to get something back from your old gadgets, even if they are not working, or in perfect condition. It’s more eco-friendly, and anything that makes purchasing the latest tech is great news to us.

The Apple Computer Reuse and Recycling Program is the latest Apple program encouraging Apple customers to trade in their old gadgets. Back in November 2011 Apple announced that it was to replace faulty iPod nanos in exchange for a new model.
