They say you can recycle that way. See the FAQs on recycling at the bottom of this Apple page:


Apple Trade In - Apple


However, for taking it to a store, they do not say whether that can be a walk-in or an appointment is needed. And acceptance may vary from store to store. From the fine print at the bottom of the above page:


In-store trade-in requires presentation of a valid photo ID (local law may require saving this information). Offer may not be available in all stores, and may vary between in-store and online trade-in. Some stores may have additional requirements.

My underline.


Were it I, I would get an official answer from Apple for the specific steroe you wish to use. They will not see your query in these user-to-user forums.
