I have two iphones that are old and do not power on. I cannot remove any of the find my iphone and stuff. I just want to dispose of them responsibly. Can I still send them in? I'm not looking for credit. I am just tired of packing them every time I move.

If you have a Best Buy store in your area, they will accept electronics for recycling.
You can recycle them at any Apple Store...
Many bigger hardware stores (Lowes/Home Depot/Menards/etc.) have electronics and battery disposal bins as well.
Thank you for the responses. I have both a Best Buy and Apple Store.
