recycle macbook pro I have an old 2009 MacBook Pro that I want to bring to Apple for the purpose of having them properly recycle the computer... But I want to bring it in with the hard drive removed (by me), so the device will not be functional. I don't want any money or trade in credit. I just want the device to be properly recycled. Will Apple accept from me a MacBook Pro with its hard drive removed for the sole purpose of Apple recycling the computer for me???
