Can I trade in devices without making a purchase

I have several older (2012) computers - can I have them recycled for free without making a purchase

Yes, Apple is willing to recycle any Mac for free.


However 2012 is new enough they might offer you an Apple Gift Card as credit for a future purchase. (Or you could get a bid from some Apple Authorized resellers. Or you could try reselling it yourself on Craigslist or like. Or... )


Just remember to carefully complete the 'what to do before selling, giving away, or trading in' checklist. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201065
