Apple has make up its devices recycling program to add a new “reuse” option that pays owners of existing iPhones, iPads, Mac or PC desktop or notebook computers a fair market pricing value for their old equipment, cash in via an Apple Gift Card.
Apple continues to provide a variety of recycling programs: a site to dump unwanted electronics of any type at its Cupertino, California head quarters (which has start it’s operation since 2002); free recycling of Mac batteries at any of its official retail stores; and free pickup and disposal of any type brand of computer or display that has been contracted through WeRecycle!, which consumer can get a free prepaid shipping label at the website www.werecycle.com.
Now, customers who currently own an Apple’s iOS device or a computer from any manufacturer can receive a credit for the fair market value of that device, priced by PowerOn, a third party company Apple contract with to operate the reuse program.
