Apple Recycling on Old Devices
this is not a question; it's a reply to question about Apple recycling. if your device is old & of little or no trade-in value, data doctors will do a clean wipe at no charge. you can then recycle your old device either w/Apple or data doctors. Apple will send a box & label to send your product if requested. i just did this w/my old MacBook.
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), iOS 11.3.1
