Disposing of an old Mac.
I have two old Macs that I want to dispose of, a Power Mac 2011 and an iMac older than that. Will Apple take them to recycle the materials?

EDIT: Just noticed that Allan Jones had provided the necessary information while I was composing my message.
Happens to me all the time! I am a slow typist!
