When I try to reinstall macOS it asks for my iCloud sign in. I don’t want to put this because I’m trying to wipe the Mac for recycling. What do I do?

When I try to reinstall macOS it asks for my iCloud sign in. I don’t want to put this because I’m trying to wipe the Mac for recycling. Do I need to reinstall the macOS? I only ask because the article I’m reading says to.
