my old imac is not worth anything re trade in, what are the best options for recycle or donation. I am not sure what model it is but it is a desktop and purschsed in 2009. Austin TX area. Thank you.
Erase the Hard Drive if the iMac is still working.
Remove the Hard Drive from the iMac if it is not working.
Do a Google Search for "E-Waste Recyclers" in your local area and drop it off there.
Apple will recycle it for you for free or you can take den.thed's suggestion. You can also call your local office supply store and ask about their technology recycling program.
