All,
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 recyclable items are eligible to participate. Just register, follow the steps, and we’ll do the rest.
Go to http://www.apple.com/education/recycling/ for more detailed instructions on how to participate and to sign up.
How the recycling works: To take advantage of this opportunity, you’ll need to register by September 2, 2011. All products must be packaged according to the instructions at this URL: http://www.apple.com/education/recycling/ Remember, you must recycle a minimum of 25 items in order to participate.
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.
Why recycle with Apple? Not all recycling programs are created equal. The secure and environmentally responsible process that Apple uses results in a high recovery rate of commodities. You can rest assured that your old electronics will not be shipped overseas. 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 destroyed. • All of the electronic waste collected through the program is processed in North America.
This offer expires September 2, 2011, so register now — it’s easier than ever to manage your e-waste.
