Recycling old MacBooks

Hello,


Is there a recycling program for old MacBook computers? If there is, is the program valid for Bulgaria?


I have an old MacBook late 2009 model. It still works but the battery is completely dead and I've upgraded to a much newer MacBook Pro.


Thank you,

Sofia

Apple will take the Macbook & shred it…

If you are OK with that use Apples recycling program. Other companies may repair or try to fix or reuse parts from devices, search for another recycler if you think that is more appropriate or sell it on eBay etc.


If you remove the hard disk you have nothing to worry about with data security, it might take 2 minutes to remove the HD…
