If are interested in making a little bit, sell it on Ebay.com. If not, a donation to a local charity would be worth considering as well.
Otherwise, if you have a Best Buy store in your area, they do accept old electronics for recycling if you prefer to go that route. Your local city government might also accept items for recycling.

Put in the details and set auction to $1 and enough postage to cover anywhere.. same as other people selling them.. usually lots on eBay.
Don't expect too much on it for old N wireless model.. AC one here goes for $50 now.. since Apple has really got out of the router market.
This is the model A1521, also known as the 802.11ac version. The average price for this model is about $50-70 or so on Ebay. An interested buyer will probably want to know how old the AirPort might be,
Rough guess......maybe $20-50, but it will depend on the model that you have. A product only a few years old might bring $75-100. That's why we we asked for the model number.
Thank you Bob...
Do you have any idea how much I should be selling it for on Ebay.com or to Best Buy?
Thanks,
Jaime
It's the tall, tower shaped one... I didn't see any model number on this one, maybe there was only one model created?
Which model of AirPort Extreme do you have? Is it "tall" shaped like a "tower"......or......is it "flat" shaped, like a small white pizza box with rounded corners?
If it is an older "flat" version, look on the bottom of the device for the model number......usually embedded in the foam pad bse. The model number starts with an "A" followed by four numbers. Post back that info.
