All,
Once again, Apple Education will be helping out schools to recycle old equipment. No purchase is necessary and the equipment does not have to be Apple branded. Obviously, there are terms & conditions so be sure to read through them by going here:http://www.apple.com/education/recycling
Here are the highlights of the program:
Now through September 30, 2014, Apple will recycle your institution’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.
Not all recycling programs are created equal. The recycling processes Apple uses are secure and environmentally responsible. So you can rest assured that your old electronics are on their way to a better place - not in the ocean or overseas landfills.
How the recycling program works:
First, you’ll need to register. Then all products must be packaged according to our detailed packaging instructions. Last but not least, you must recycle a minimum of 25 items. We accept any brand 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?
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 in the destruction process.
• All of the electronic waste collected through the program is processed domestically in the United States.
Happy recycling!
