Recycle an old Mac

I have a 2009 iMac that has a dead hard drive and therefore doesn’t boot properly. I’m inclined to just recycle it and be done with it. Will Apple take care of this? Any files are already backed up and appear on another machine that is already in operation.

Yes, Apple will accept the iMac for recycling. Just take it in to the nearest Apple store, sign some papers and your're done.
