Apple recycles customers' old computers

When buying a new computer, many people have difficulty finding out how to properly dispose of their old equipment.

For that reason, Apple has made it easier for those who purchase its products to do so in an eco-friendly way through the Apple Recycling Program.

If you're about to purchase a Mac, don't forget to take advantage of this program, which allows you to get rid of your old computer and/or monitor for free, regardless of manufacturer.

When you purchase any Apple computer and/or Apple display from the online Apple Store or an Apple retail location, you can opt for the program during the checkout process. Apple will then email you instructions on how to package your old equipment as well as a FedEx shipping label so it can be shipped to a recycling center.

Apple will also accept your computer's peripherals, including printers, scanners, cables, mice, keyboards, computer speakers, floppy drives, optical media and external hard drives.
