Apple goes green with computer recycling in the US

1 June 2006 14:00 GMT / By Stuart Miles

Apple has announced the launch of its free computer take-back programme, offering US customers environmentally friendly recycling of their old computer when they buy a new Mac.

Beginning today, the Apple Store and Apple retail stores will give US customers the option of recycling their unwanted PCs, regardless of the manufacturer.

When a customer chooses to participate in the program, Apple will send an email with instructions and a label for free shipping and recycling. Customers simply package their recyclable equipment and attach the label provided. All equipment received by the programme is recycled domestically and no hazardous material is shipped overseas.

Apple's recycling programme is an extension of its free iPod recycling programme it already runs in the US.
