This spring, Apple will recycle your school’s old, unwanted Mac computers, PCs, and qualifying peripherals from any manufacturer—for free. There’s no purchase required, and all accredited K-12 and higher education institutions with at least 25 pieces* of recyclables are eligible to participate. Just register in time, follow the steps, and we’ll do the rest.
How the recycling works
To take advantage of this opportunity, you’ll need to register by August 31, 2009. All products must be packaged according to the instructions and collected by September 30, 2009. Remember, you must recycle a minimum of 25 pieces* in order to participate.
In addition to the 25 pieces, we accept all brands of the following equipment: computers, monitors, laptops, printers, fax machines, scanners, desktop-size copy machines, CD drives, hard drives, TVs, VCRs, projectors, overhead projectors, networking equipment, cables, keyboards, and mice.
This offer expires August 31, 2009, so register now—it’s never been easier to go green.

Why recycle with Apple?
Leveraging the Apple Recycling Program for Education ensures that your retired equipment will be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner, with special consideration given to data security:
- All recycled hard drives are ground into confetti-size pieces.
- Customers receive a certificate of destruction for each lot recycled through the program.
- All asset tags and other identifying information are removed prior to destruction.
- All of the electronic waste collected through the program is processed domestically in the United States.
*Computers, printers, or displays. Terms and conditions apply.
