Can I donate my old iPod touch to apple?

Have a look here...

Apple - Recycling Program for iPod and Mobile Phones

Well you sell them on eBay...

Or you can bring it to an Apple Store. You will get 10% when you buy a new iPod. (In you case you get 20%)

Elitegate, you only get 10% no matter how many iPods you turn in.

Really? But thats not fair.

Bring 1 iPod in for recycling, you get 10% off.

Bring 2 iPods in for recycling, you also get 10% off.

OK @waterbear, you get only 10% off a new one.

Thanks to Apple Inc.

If you are in the US, amazon and best buy will buy back electronics (or in the case of best buy, recycle them if they're not worth anything)

Another option to consider. Both places give you store credit (I just sold back my 4th gen touch for $70 credit towards my 5th gen touch at best buy...amazon would have given me more but I didn't want to go without my device for the couple of weeks it would have taken)

Certainly it's fair. They don't have to give you a discount at all, and will take broken iPods (which often have little or no value at all on the open market) as well as working ones, so anything they offer is "fair". Anyone who doesn't like the offer is free to sell their iPods themselves or find a better deal.

Regards.

But they give you discount, so they could double the discount if you bring in two (for recycling only of course)

Sure they could. They could give everyone free iPods for no reason whatsoever. But they don't, and they don't allow you "gang up" discounts by recycling more than one iPod. The discount is 10% regardless of how many iPods you recycle. There's nothing "unfair" about that any more than any other discount, sale or promotion is "unfair".

The maximum benefit is 10% off each new iPod purchased. If you bring in 2 iPods for recycling you can get 10% off each on the purchase of up to two iPods.

OK; sure it's nice that Apple will give you 10%. They don't have to. But they do, and thats the reason they should give you 20% if you bring two in. But i think i know why they won't do this deal. Because then someone would bring in 10 iPods... and you know.. 100% off. That's kinda stupid.
