Not receiving shipping labels for Apple computer recycling

I have 2 apple computers that I am trying to recycle. I have requested pre-paid shipping labels several times and they have never been sent. Am I doing something wrong?

Trade-In Box didn't include label to ship back to Apple I arranged to trade-in my old iMac for a new one. I received my return kit with the box, padding, and tape to box up my old iMac (after erasing everyting) but there was no shipping label inside the box. How can I get a replacement shipping label from Apple to send it back? It's worth noting I live 5 hours from the closest AppleStore, so that's not an option.

Two return shipping labels on one box I bought iPad Pro and Apple pen Pro online and they were shipped to me in one box. I have decided to return both items and was issued a return shipping label for each item. The tracking numbers and RMA numbers are different between the two labels. I know I shouldn’t tape both labels onto the same box. I don’t want to ship the items separately. Which label should I tape to the outside of the box? What should I do with the other return label? I assume that I’ll be instructed to put one of the return labels inside the box but really don’t want to screw up and misplace one of the items. Thanks !

You have to request a return boxes and labels using the Trade-in and Recycling program.

Apple Reuse and Recycling Program - Apple

If that is not working out, you can erase and drop off those old Mac’s at your local E-Waste Recycler.

It seems Apple's recycling partner puts the return label UNDER the one addressed to you. Causes s lot of questions here.
