Apple peels wraps off free recycling scheme

Get your old PC taken away when you buy a new Mac

Apple has launched a computer recycling programme which offers US customers an environmentally friendly way of disposing of their old computer when they buy a new Mac. 

The firm said that its online and shop-based retail outlets will offer customers the option of recycling their unwanted PCs, regardless of the manufacturer.

If a customer chooses to participate in the programme, Apple will send an email with instructions and a label for free shipping and recycling. Customers simply package their old equipment and attach the label provided.

All equipment received by the programme is recycled domestically, and no hazardous material is shipped overseas, according to Apple.

The company claimed that its recycling programmes have processed more than 9,500 tonnes of electronics worldwide since 1994.
