how to send laptop for recycling

I'd like to send my MacBook back for recycling.


I also would like to know how to wipe the information off my hard drive, before I send it back.


Does Apple offer free shipment for sending old equipment for recycling?

- The newest models may not be listed as eligible for trade-in. Contact Apple if you want to double-check. It you cannot simply return the device to Apple within the refund period (not available in all countries), you may need to see if you can sell your device as used.

- Follow the instructions included in your trade-in kit. It explains how to prepare, pack, and ship your device.
