How do I recycle old devices?
18/01/20 Filed in: Recycling
There are several things you can do with old computers/iPhones/iPads
___________
Staples and Best Buy will take old iPhones and iPads for recycling. They often repurpose them for others to use. You would want to wipe them before you pass them on however, including logging out of your iCloud account. That step is very important.
Computers:
1. You can call the city for a pickup (411) and the night before leave your computer out and the city will recycle it.
2. You could take it to a recycle center yourself.
3. You could send it to Apple's third party recycler and they will recycle it. Link here.
4. You may be able to get a little money for it but it's usually not much.
5. You could have me do it. I charge $10 for laptops and $20 for desktops. I wipe them before taking them to a Charlotte recycling center.
Note: If you choose to have me recycle, I prefer to bundle that in to an actual session. I usually don't just pick up computers for people as my only reason for traveling.
